Abstract
The total neutron cross sections of Co, Ga, Se, Cd, Te, Pt, Au, Hg, and Th were measured as a function of neutron energy from 0.1 to 3 Mev. An estimate of the error caused by neutrons scattered into the detector was made by measuring the apparent cross section as a function of sample diameter. The results give additional evidence that, neglecting resonance structure, total structure, total neutron cross-section curves have characteristic shapes which change slowly with atomic weight.Keywords
