High Resolution Neutron Capture Cross Section Measurements of 56 Fe

Capture cross section measurements with a nominal resolution of 0.075 ns/m have been carried out on an enriched 56Fe sample at the Geel electron linac. The data have been analysed up to 256 keV both with an area code and an R-matrix shape fitting code. Capture areas and resonance parameters have been deduced and compared to previous results.
