Radiative neutron capture on ²⁴²Pu in the resonance region at the CERN n_TOF-EAR1 facility

NUCLEAR REACTIONS ²⁴²Pu(n, γ), E<4 keV; measured neutron spectra by time-of-flight method, Eγ, Iγ at CERN n_TOF-EAR1 facility; deduced Γ_γ, sum of reduced neutron widths Γ₀ as function of neutron energy, distributions of reduced neutron widths, average resonance parameters. ²⁴³Pu; deduced energies and parameters of 251 individual neutron resonances in the range of E(n)=2.6 eV to 4 keV, J, Γ_γ, Γ_n. Comparison with JEFF calculations and DANCE data. SAMMY code used for resonance analysis.
