Abstract

The total neutron cross sections of gold, chlorine, and phosphorus have been measured over the energy range 100 to 700 kev using the mono-energetic neutrons from the

H^{3} (p, n) {He}^{3}

reaction with an energy resolution of about 40 kev. Pronounced resonances were found in phosphorus, slight indications of resonances were found in chlorine, and no resonances were found in gold.
