Abstract

The energy dependence of some experimentally derived neutron absorption and fission cross sections of 235U and 239Pu are compared with the ENDF/B-IV results over the energy range from 0.005 to 1.0 e V. Wescott g factors are presented as calculated from the experimental data. The experimental results published previously were normalized to ENDF/B-III values for σf and σa.
