The measuring procedure for the determination of neutron activation cross sections averaged over the neutron spectrum of /sup 252/Cf is described. Measurements were done in a low-scattering irradiation facility that provides a nearly undisturbed field of neutrons emitted with the spontaneous fission of /sup 252/Cf. The following neutron reactions were investigated: /sup 113/In(n,n..gamma..), /sup 115/In(n,n'), /sup 115/In(n,n'), /sup 197/Au(n,..gamma..), and /sup 197/Au(n,2n). The resulting average cross sections were compared with those of other experiments. In addition, calculations of average cross sections were performed. The results of the present and of earlier measurements were summarized and compared with calculated average cross sections obtained by folding the spectral distribution of /sup 252/Cf neutrons with different sigma(E) data (ENDF/B-IV, ENDF/B-V, and recent experiments). 1 figure, 3 tables.
