The total neutron cross sections of natural Mo, Te, Sb, and Pr have been measured from about 6 eV to a maximum energy of 250 keV for Mo and Pr and to about 5 keV for Sb and Te, using the Nevis synchrocyclotron and a 200-m flight path. The maximum time resolution is 0.5 nsec/m. The resonance energies and the neutron reduced widths of about 1000 levels have been obtained, using area analysis. Values of Γ γ∼ 100 meV were obtained for the capture widths of 15 levels in natural Sb. Values of the spin J of the compound nucleus were obtained for a number of levels of Pr. Our values for the s-wave strength function for Mo, Sb, Te, and Pr are S 0=(0.35±0. 0 6),(0.34±0. 0 5),(0.15±0. 0 3), and(1.72±0. 2 5)× 10− 4, respectively. An average level spacing< D>= 75.2 eV was obtained for Pr. The presence of many p-wave levels led to a strong energy dependence of the observed< D> for Mo, Sb, and Te. The observed statistical distributions of the neutron reduced widths and nearest-neighbor level spacings for Pr and natural Sb are compared with the Porter-Thomas and Wigner distributions, respectively.
