Total Neutron Cross Section ofCm244

The total neutron cross section of ${\mathrm{Cm}}^{244}$ has been studied from 0.01 to about 900 eV with the Argonne fast chopper. Resonance parameters are given for many of the approximately 20 resonances observed below 500 eV. Three resonances have been assigned to ${\mathrm{Cm}}^{246}$, but none to ${\mathrm{Cm}}^{245}$ although this isotope was about as abundant as the ${\mathrm{Cm}}^{246}$ in one of the samples studied. The value of the strength functions of ${\mathrm{Cm}}^{244}$ and ${\mathrm{Cm}}^{246}$, when combined with other measured values, suggests that this quantity has a maximum near $A=239\mathrm{}$.
