The neutron induced fission cross section for /sup 235/U has been measured from .02 to 1000 electron volts at the NBS electron LINAC facility. This cross section, especially the integrals from 7.8 to 11 eV and from 100 to 1000 eV, is incorporating both the /sup 235/U foils and the /sup 10/B foils used to monitor the neutron beam was built. The geometry of the chamber and the data taking system are designed to give the effect of a common environment and flight path so as to reduce or eliminate background and energy assignment problems. The shape measurements were normalized at thermal. Results are compared to other recent measurements and ENDF/B-V. 5 refs., 9 figs., 3 tabs.
