A review of currently-used techniques to measure neutron capture cross sections is presented. Measurements involving use of total absorption and Moxon-Rae detectors are based on low-resolution detection of the prompt ..gamma..-ray cascades following neutron captures. In certain energy ranges activation methods are convenient and useful. High resolution ..gamma..-ray measurements with germanium detectors can give information on the parameters of resonance capture states. The use of these techniques is described. 2 tables, 17 figures.
