Total neutron cross section of /sup 45/Sc at the 2 keV

The scandium neutron cross section at 2 keV interference minimum sigma/sub min/ is equal to 0.27 +- 0.07 barn from measurements at the WWR-M reactor. This figure is much lower than the value of 0.71 +- 0.03 barn recently reported by other authors. Transmissions of T of a high purity metallic scandium 22.5-cm-thickness sample were measured with scandium filters of variable thickness (from 63 to 173 cm). The simple formula suited for experiments like the present one was deduced for sigma/sub min/.
