The radiative capture cross sections of natural niobium and molybdenum are measured relative to that of gold at four neutron energies between 0.7 and 1.4 MeV, using a large liquid scintillation detector and the time-of-flight technique. The neutron capture cross sections from 0.5 to 2.0 MeV for ⁹³Nb and from 0.01 to 2.0 MeV for natural molybdenum are calculated using the optical model and statistical theory. The results are compared with other experimental and calculated data.
