Neutron transmission through a zirconium oxide sample containing the radioactive 93Zr isotope was measured by pulsed neutron time of flight. R matrix parameters for some of the resonances up to 6-keV neutron energy were determined. The first resonance, for example, was found at (110.43 ± 0.01) eV with partial widths Гn = (348 ± 9) meV and Гγ = (141 ± 21) meV and quantum numbers Jπ = 2+.
