Abstract
Parity violation has been observed in a number of previously unreporte d neutron resonances in silver. Analysis of these parity violation dat a requires improved neutron resonance spectroscopy. The neutron total cross section for natural silver was measured for E-n = 10-800 eV with the time-of-flight method at the Los Alamos Neutron Scattering Center . The neutron capture reaction was studied with both a natural silver target and a highly enriched sample (98.29%) of Ag-107. A total of 38 previously unreported resonances were observed. The combination of the two measurements allowed assignment of the newly observed resonances to. Ag-107 or to Ag-109. Resonance parameters were determined for almo st all of the neutron resonances observed.
