"Neutron capture cross section of ²³²Th measured at the n_TOF facility at CERN in the unresolved resonance region up to 1 MeV";
Physical Review C, 73 (2006), 054610-1 - 054610-10.

We have measured the neutron capture reaction yield of 232Th at the neutron time-of-flight facility n_TOF at CERN in the energy range from 1 eV to 1 MeV. The average capture cross section has been extracted in the energy range from 4 keV up to 1 MeV with an overall accuracy better than 4%. An independent IAEA evaluation shows good agreement with the data. The average cross section has been expressed in terms of average resonance parameters using the partial waves =0,1, and 2.
