The Fe⁵⁴ (n,p)Mn⁵⁴ cross section has been measured at eleven points between 3.55 MeV and 17.4 MeV using an activation technique. The excitation function appears to reach a peak at about 5.7 MeV. A fission-neutron cross section based on these and earlier differential data yields a value of 67 mb, in good agreement with some recent integral measurements.
