The half-life of 155Eu has been measured to be 4.65 ± 0.20 years and the absorption cross section has been found to be 4040 ± 125 b by a depletion method using a Ge(Li) detector. The sample of 155Eu was irradiated in the NRU pneumatic carrier where the flux has a small epithermal component. These values are very different from values of [Formula: see text] years and σ ~ 13 000 b reported previously.

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.

Thermal Neutron Cross Section

The thermal neutron capture cross section of radioactive Au198 has been measured by the activation method as 26,000 ± 1200 barns, assuming 99 barns for the thermal neutron cross section of Au197. Metallic Au197 was bombarded in fluxes up to 9 × 1013 thermal neutrons cm.−2 sec.−1 to produce a mixture of Au198 and Au199 by the successive neutron capture reactions Au197(n, γ)Au198(n, γ)Au199. The ratio of the Au199 activity to Au198 activity so produced yields σc(Au197). In a preliminary experiment, the half-life of Au199 was measured as 3.148 ± 0.010 days.

The effective neutron capture cross section,[Formula: see text]; the 2200 meters/sec neutron capture cross section, σ0, and the resonance capture integral, RI, of Pr-143 have been measured by an activation method. The values are: [Formula: see text], σ0 = 89 ± 10, and RI = 190 ± 25 barns respectively. The neutron fluxes have been measured with cobalt monitors. All these values have been calculated according to the Westcott convention, which has been outlined insofar as it can be applied to activation work.

Neutron Capture Cross Section

The thermal neutron capture cross section and the resonance capture integral of Th230 have been determined by an activation method. Assumptions are made that the thermal capture cross section and the resonance capture integral of Co59 are 36.5 barns and 48.6 barns respectively, that the half-life of Th230 is 8.00 × 104 years, and that Th230 behaves as a 1/v absorber in the subcadmium region. Based on these assumptions values of σ2200 = 21.4 ± 0.3 barns and of 937 ± 32 barns for the resonance absorption integral (from 0.5 ev to ∞) have been obtained for Th230.The half-life of Th231 has been determined as 25.52 ± 0.01 hours.

Calorimetric Determination

The half-life of Th230 (ionium) has been measured by a calorimetric method and was found to be 75,200 years with a standard error of ± 1,600 years.In the light of this measurement, previously published values for the 2200 m/sec neutron capture cross section and the resonance capture integral (from 0.5 ev to ∞) of Th230 have been amended to 22.7 ± 0.6 barns and 996 ± 40 barns respectively.
