Measurement and analysis of neutron cross sections with the Oak Ridge linear accelerator neutron facility. Progress report, April 1, 1981-March 31, 1982

The extensive measurements of total and capture cross section in many nuclei: /sup 64/Zn, /sup 66/Zn, /sup 67/Zn, /sup 68/Zn, /sup 70/Zn, /sup 57/Fe, /sup 58/Fe have been analyzed using a R-matrix multi-level multichannel code for the total cross section and LSFIT code for the capture cross sections. The results of these analyses have been reported at many APS Meetings, International Symposium and have been submitted for publications to the Physical Review. The main interest in making these measurements in some of these nuclei was the investigation of statistical properties of complex spectra, the determination of the s- and p-wave strength functions, level densities, radiative widths and the parameters of the optical model potential used for the interaction of neutrons with nuclei. Summaries of measurements are given, and a list of publications and reports is included. (WHK)
