Parity violation has been observed in a number of previously unreported neutron resonances in silver. Analysis of these parity violation data requires improved neutron resonance spectroscopy. The neutron total cross section for natural silver was measured for E{sub n}=10{endash}800 eV with the time-of-flight method at the Los Alamos Neutron Scattering Center. The neutron capture reaction was studied with both a natural silver target and a highly enriched sample (98.29{percent}) of {sup 107}Ag. A total of 38 previously unreported resonances were observed. The combination of the two measurements allowed assignment of the newly observed resonances to {sup 107}Ag or to {sup 109}Ag. Resonance parameters were determined for almost all of the neutron resonances observed. {copyright} {ital 1997} {ital The American Physical Society}
