The neutron capture cross sections of 138Ba and 140Ce have been measured with high energy resolution between 3 and 100 keY using the capture cross section facility at the 40 m station of the Oak Ridge Electron Linear Accelerator. The average s-wave level spacings are <D)s = 6�3 � 1 �7 and 3�2 � 0�8 keY for 138Ba and 140Ce respectively. The deduced s-wave neutron strength functions are 104So = 1�0�0�4 and 1�54�0�53 respectively, and the average s-wave radiative widths are <r,)s = 55�20 and 35�9meY. The p-wave neutron strength functions are 104S1 ~ 0�03 and 0�32�0�12 respectively. The average 30 keY Maxwellian capture cross sections are 3�9�0�8mb for 138Ba and 7�7 � 0�9 mb for 140Ce. A more rigorous treatment of the prompt neutron correction for l'-ray detectors is described, and it is shown that previously published results for 138Ba have underestimated this correction. The 140Ce data provide excellent corroboration for the calculated magnitude and time dependence of the prompt neutron correction.

The neutron capture cross sections of 86.87Sr have been measured with high energy resolution from 3 to 200 keY at the 40 m station of the Oak Ridge Electron Linear Accelerator. Individual resonances were analysed to 37 keY for 86Sr and to 14 keY for 87Sr, and average resonance parameters were deduced on the basis of assumed divisions between s- and p-wave resonances. The average radiative widths obtained on this basis are consistent with a capture mechanism which is predominantly statistical

The neutron capture cross section of 139La has been measured with high energy resolution between 2� 5 and 90 ke V using the capture cross section facility at the 40 m station on the Oak Ridge Electron Linear Accelerator. Individual resonances were analysed to 15 keV and the average s- and p-wave radiative widths deduced were <Γγ>s = 55�6meV and <Γγ>p = 4O�7meV. The p-wave neutron strength function obtained was S1 = (0'30�0'1O)x 10-4 ? The s-wave resonances decay strongly to final f-wave states via a postulated doorway state mechanism. The transition strengths for these decays are not correlated with the neutron widths of the initial states.

The thermal neutron capture cross sections of Na23 and Mn55 have been determined using the activation method. The values are 0.53 ± 0.03 and 12.7 ± 0.3 barns respectively with respect to σAul97 = 93 barns. These agree well with recent pile oscillator results. The half-life for Mn56 is found to be 2.576 ± 0.002 hr.
