Description

The thermal neutron capture cross section of Th-232 has been measured relative to that of Au-197. Taking the capture cross section of Au197 to be 98.8 barn, that of Th-232 is found to be 7.33 +. 0.06 barn. The uncertainty is at the 95% confidence level and includes an estimate of the systematic uncertainties
