Total Cross Section Measurements for Fast Neutrons

Abstract
The total cross sections of Zr, Ag, In, Sb, I, Ta, and Pb have been measured as a function of neutron energy in the energy range from 20 kev to 1600 kev. A spread in energy of 30 kev was used up to 200 kev, and a spread of 70 kev above this energy. Indications of structure were found in Zr and Pb. The results are compared with the predictions of the statistical theory.
