Abstract

The capture cross sections for neutrons with energies up to 50 keV in nickel, copper, molybdenum, and tungsten were measured with a lead slowing-down-time neutron spectrometer. Previously unreported resonances were detected in nickel (2.3 keV), Cu63 (−100 eV), and Mo93 (12 eV), and their parameters were estimated. The radiation widths of the copper resonances at 227 and 580 eV were 0.6 eV, Resonance absorption integrals are given for the materials studied.
