Abstract

Neutron-radiative-capture cross sections have been measured at various energies from 30-220 keV using a new "total-energy-detector" technique of high sensitivity, applicable to small samples of separated stable isotopes. Samples studied are: V, Fe, Ni, ^86Sr, ^87Sr, Y, Nb, Rh, Ag, ^122Te, ^123Te, ^124Te, ^125Te, ^126Te, ^128Te, ^130Te, I, Eu, ^175Lu, ^176Lu, W, Au, ^204Pb, and ^208Pb. The odd-odd isotope ^176Lu shows a substantially higher cross section than those of neighboring odd-even and even-odd nuclei. The results for europium (2 b near 65 keV) emphasize the peak expected from previous studies of systematics. The Sr and Te isotopic results strongly confirm the predictions of s-process stellar nucleosynthesis.
