The measurements of fast neutron capture cross sections of europium relative to gold at six neutron energies were carried out by using a large liquid scintillator detector. The neutron capture cross sections of 151 Eu and 153 Eu were calculated from 0.1 to 2.0 MeV using an optical model and statistical theory. The results are discussed and compared with the results of previous experiments.
