Description

Neutron total and capture cross sections of $^{241}$Am have been measured with a new data acquisition system and a new neutron transmission measurement system installed in Accurate Neutron Nucleus Reaction measurement Instrument (ANNRI) at Materials and Life Science Experimental Facility (MLF) of Japan Proton Accelerator Research Complex (J-PARC). The neutron total cross sections of $^{241}$Am were determined by using a neutron time-of-flight method in the neutron energy region from 4 meV to 2 eV. The thermal total cross section of $^{241}$Am was derived with an uncertainty of 2.9\%. A pulse-height weighting technique was applied to determine neutron capture yields of $^{241}$Am. The neutron capture cross sections were determined by the time-of-flight method in the neutron energy region from the thermal to 100 eV, and the thermal capture cross section was obtained with an uncertainty of 4.1\%. The evaluation data of JENDL-4.0 and JEFF-3.2 were compared with the present results.
