Abstract
The neutron activation cross section of gold was measured in the neutron range from 30-1500 kev. The absolute value of the cross section was based on the ${\mathrm{U}}^{235}$ fast fission cross section which was used for absolute neutron flux measurements from 200-1500 kev. For measurements below 200 kev, the ${\mathrm{B}}^{10}(n, \ensuremath{\alpha})$ cross section was used for monitoring the neutron flux. The relative cross section from 30-200 kev was then normalized at 200 kev to the absolute measurement. The results agree well with recent measurements, except for some pulsed beam---liquid scintillator measurements and spherical shell transmission measurements which yield much lower cross section values.
