Abstract
The cross sections of the reaction 98Mo(n, γ)99Mo at neutron energies of 0.0334 eV and 0.0536 eV were measured for the first time using the activation technique, and the resulting values of 116 ± 7 mb and 91 ± 5 mb, respectively, are in good agreement with the JENDL-4 and ENDF/B-VII data files. Those measured values were extrapolated to the energy 0.0253 eV assuming 1/v dependence in the thermal region and the results were compared with the integrally measured values reported in the literature. The new data are thus useful to check the evaluated excitation function.
