Abstract

For 13 isotopes, the resonance integral to thermal crosssection ratio was studied. The results of two different methods, applied in two different laboratories, are compared. One method consists in a direct determination of I0/π0-values from Cd-ratio measurements, the other is based on the evaluation of literature data, using accurately determined k0-factors from two irradiation channels with largely different thermal-to-epithermal flux ratios.
