By observations of the transmission of H₂O and D₂O for neutrons of discrete energies between 0.35 and 6.0 Mev and from a knowledge of σₛ(H)¹, values of σₛ(D) and σₛ(O) are deduced as a function of neutron energy. σₛ(D) is a monotonic function of neutron energy in this region but σₛ(O) shows evidence for resonance phenomena.
