Abstract
The total cross section of phosphorus for neutrons has been measured in good geometry by the transmission method with a resolution of 2 kev. The energy range is from 125 kev to 850 kev, the neutrons being produced by the reaction. Red phosphorus contained in a thin steel cylinder was used as scatterer. The neutrons were detected by a hydrogen recoil counter. The neutron beam was monitored by a B long counter. The average cross section is 3 barns with an average level spacing of about 25 kev.
