Measurements of the capture cross sections of natural silver in the resonance range with the time of flight technique

Neutron capturecross section measurements have been performed at the time-of-flight facility GELINAof the EC-JRC-Geel. Prompt gamma rays, originating from a natural silver sample, were detected by a pair of C 6 D 6 liquid scintillation detectors. The total energy detection principle in combination with the pulse height weighting technique has been used. In this contribution the experimental details together with the data reductionprocess are described. In addition, first results of calculations with REFIT are presented to verify the quality of recommended cross section datain the resolved resonance region.
