Abstract

Neutron capture cross sections of 232T/i have been measured relative to 197Au in the energy region from 30 keV to 600 keV. The neutron source was the reaction 7Li(p, n) produced on the 4 MV Van de Graaff Accelerator of the Centre d' Etudes Nucléaires de Bordeaux (CENBG). Preliminary analysis of the measurements indicates that the cross sections are closer to the JENDL database values.
