Abstract

Neutron total cross section measurements in the energy range from 30 eV to 500 keV have been made using a pulsed neutron time-of-flight method with a 78.2 m flight path and a nominal resolution of about 0.07 ns/m. From the analysis of the data up to 350 keV we have obtained values of the s- and p-wave neutron strength functions and of the mean level spacings. These are S/sub 0/ = (3.2 +- 1.4), S/sub 1/ = (0.68 +- 0.13) in units of 10/sup -4/ eV/sup -1/2/, /sub l/ = 0 = (32 +- 12) keV and /sub l/ = 1 = (8 +- 1) keV.
