Abstract
Neutron nonelastic cross sections for carbon have been measured over the energy range from 5.8 to 12.9 Mev. The main features of the carbon nonelastic cross section as a function of neutron energy are a gradual rise from threshold (4.8 Mev) up to 7 Mev, a steep rise from 7 to 8 Mev, and an approximately constant value from 8 to 14 Mev. In the vicinity of sharp resonances in the total cross section, good cross-section determinations are difficult to obtain using present-day sphere transmission techniques.
