Abstract
The cross section of the neutron capture reaction $^{176}\mathrm{Lu}(n,\ensuremath{\gamma})$ has been measured for a wide incident neutron energy range with the Detector for Advanced Neutron Capture Experiments at the Los Alamos Neutron Science Center. The thermal neutron capture cross section was determined to be $(1912\ifmmode\pm\else\textpm\fi{}132)$ b for one of the Lu natural isotopes, $^{176}\mathrm{Lu}$. The resonance part was measured and compared to the Mughabghab's atlas using the $R$-matrix code, sammy. At higher neutron energies the measured cross sections are compared to ENDF/B-VII.1, JEFF-3.2, and BRC evaluated nuclear data. The Maxwellian averaged cross sections in a stellar plasma for thermal energies between 5 keV and 100 keV were extracted using these data.
