Abstract
Total gamma absorption cross sections were measured of from 20.0 to 21.2 Mev, and of , , and from 20.0 to 20.5 Mev using monochromatic gamma rays. A direct absorption technique was used, utilizing photons, varied in energy by changing the energy of the incident protons. The cross section showed structure with possible resonances at 20.15 Mev, 20.46 Mev, and 20.92 Mev, with integrated cross sections of 1.1, 1.0, and 6.6 Mev millibarns, respectively. showed a sharply rising cross section suggesting a strong resonance above about 20.3 Mev. The cross sections of and were smooth over the energy interval investigated.
