The neutron capture cross section of 242Pu has been measured by determining the 243Am product. Samples were irradiated in a neutron flux having essentially a Maxwellian distribution defined by the temperature (37.5 °C) of a water annulus around the sample tube. Plutonium and americium were separated from each other chemically and their concentrations and isotopic compositions obtained by low-geometry α counting and α spectrometry. A value for gσ0 of 18.7 ± 0.7 b was obtained where g represents the deviation from 1/v behavior.

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.
