Abstract

The accurate knowledge of the ¹⁹⁷Au(n,γ) reaction cross section is of great importance, since this reaction if often used as a reference in capture cross section measurements relevant to Nuclear Astrophysics, as well as for neutron flux determination in nuclear power reactors. With the aim of improving the accuracy of the neutron capture cross section on ¹⁹⁷Au, extensive measurements were performed at the n-TOF facility at CERN with two detection systems: a total absorption calorimeter and a set of C ₆D₆ detectors. The capture yield and the resonance parameters have been determined in the energy range from 1 eV to 5 keV and compared with evaluated data files. The present capture kernels are on average in good agreement with tabulated data, although sizable differences are observed for several resonances. A few new resonances are also reported.
