Measurements were made of thermal neutron reactions with samples of natural lutetium oxide and oxide enriched in Lu/sup 175/ in order to determine the total cross sections of Lu/sup 175/ and Lu/sup 176/ in the energy range from 0.0l2 to 1.0 ev The neutron time-of-flight spectra were examined with a 100- channel analyzer. A Breit-Wigner curve was fitted to the 0.142 ev resonance in Lu/sup 176/ after corrections were made for the Doppler width and the finite resolution of the spectrometer. (M.C.G.)
