Slow neutron total cross-section of Al6061 at low temperatures

This work presents evaluations of the total cross-section and its components, corresponding to the aluminum based alloy Al6061 at a few temperatures of interest, over the neutron energy range from 10-5 to 10 eV. A practical procedure for subtraction of the cold source's vessel contribution to the measured emerging spectra is discussed, and data given for the specific cases where Al6061 is used as the vessel material
