Abstract

The capture cross sections of 241Am and 243Am were measured at the n TOF facility at CERN in the epithermal energy range with a BaF2 Total Absorption Calorimeter. A preliminary analysis of the 241Am and a complete analysis of the 243Am measurement, including the data reduction and the resonance analysis, have been performed.
