Neutron Cross-Section Measurements of Antimony, Gallium, Cadmium, and Mercury

Abstract

The results of neutron transmission measurements on antimony, gallium, cadmium, and mercury, and on their separated isotopes are presented. Several methods are described for finding resonance parameters from neutron transmission measurements. Level parameters are reported for six resonances of ${\mathrm{Sb}}^{121}$; four of ${\mathrm{Sb}}^{123}$; three for ${\mathrm{Ga}}^{69}$; four for ${\mathrm{Ga}}^{71}$; and one each for ${\mathrm{Cd}}^{110}$ and ${\mathrm{Cd}}^{111}$. Isotopic assignments are made for three resonances in mercury.
