Abstract
The total cross section of vanadium has been measured over the velocity range from 4.4 to 15.7 m/sec using a time of flight spectrometer. This corresponds to an energy range from 1 \ifmmode\times\else\texttimes\fi{} ${10}^{\ensuremath{-}7}$ to 1.3 \ifmmode\times\else\texttimes\fi{} ${10}^{\ensuremath{-}6}$ eV. The nuclear absorption cross section was obtained by correcting the total cross section for incoherent elastic and thermal inelastic scattering and is consistent with the $\frac{1}{v}$ law. Over the measured energy range we find ${\ensuremath{\sigma}}_{\mathrm{abs}}{E}^{\frac{1}{2}}=0.825\ifmmode\pm\else\textpm\fi{}0.023$ be${\mathrm{V}}^{\mathrm{\textonehalf{}}}$.NUCLEAR REACTIONS $V(n,\ensuremath{\gamma}n)$, $v=4.4\ensuremath{-}15.7$ m/sec; measured ${\ensuremath{\sigma}}_{\mathrm{tot}}$, deduced ${\ensuremath{\sigma}}_{\mathrm{abs}}{E}^{\frac{1}{2}}$.
