Differential cross sections have been measured at the University of Lowell for the ground and first two excited states of /sup 232/Th via the neutron time-of-flight technique. The following results are presented for neutron scattering cross sections: (a) excitation functions of /sup 232/Th in the incident energy range from 185 to 2400 keV for the 0/sup +/ ground state and the 2/sup +/, 49-keV state, and in the 480- to 2400-keV range for the 4/sup +/, 162-keV state; (b) angular distributions for the 0/sup +/ and 2/sup +/ states at 185 kev and for the 0/sup +/, 2/sup +/, and 4/sup +/ states at 550 keV. Level cross sections were obtained using these and previously measured angular distributions.
