Abstract

The research involved the measurement, analysis, and interpretation of high-resolution neutron total and capture cross sections in the neutron energy range of few eV to few hundred keV with many nuclei. The extensive measurements of total and capture cross section in many nuclei (/sup 64/Zn, /sup 66/Zn, /sup 67/Zn, /sup 68/Zn, /sup 70/Zn, /sup 57/Fe, /sup 58/Fe) have been analyzed with an R-matrix multilevel multichannel code for the total cross section and LSFIT code for the capture cross sections. The results of these analyses have been reported. The measurements of total and capture cross section in nuclei also provide valuable data for nucleosynthesis of elements, and a better understanding of the neutron interaction with nuclei. These measurements in certain nuclei are equally important for their application in the reactor design. Some effort was also spent in modifying various computer programs of data transfer, and area and shape analysis of neutron total cross section data. Research results are sketched, and references are given to completed papers.
