BS>Natural silver has been irradiated for 75.3 days in a thermal neutron flux of 2.42 x 10/sup 14/ cm/sup -2/ sec/sup -1/, and the complex beta-ray spectrum of the resulting activities of 249-day Ag/sup 110m/ and 7.5-day Ag/sup 111/ have been studied with a magnetic spectrometer. From the measured ratio of the respective beta-ray intensities and using the currentiy accepted decay schemes of these nuclides a value of 82 plus or minus l1 barns is obtained for the reactor neutron capture cross section of Ag/sup 110m/. Possible causes of systematic error are discussed. (auth)
