Neutron resonance parameters were found for 152Gd up to 2700 eV. An average s-wave spacing D0 = (17.4 ± 1.0) eV and radiation width (58.6 ± 3.0) meV were found. The resonance contribution to the capture integral was found as (397 ± 32) b, exclusive of a 1/v term. Resonance parameters for I54Gd were extended from 490 to 2760 eV.
