Abstrakt: The neutron capture cross sections (n,γ) of bromine were obtained using the time-of-flight technique at the Back-n facility of the China Spallation Neutron Source. Prompt γ-rays originating from neutron-induced capture events were detected using four C6D6detectors. The pulse-height weighting technique and double-bunch unfolding method based on Bayesian theory were used in the data analysis. Background deductions, normalization, and corrections were carefully considered to obtain reliable measurement results. The multilevel R-matrix Bayesian code SAMMY was used to extract the resonance parameters in the resolved resonance region (RRR). The average cross sections in the unresolved resonance region (URR) were obtained from 10 to 400 keV. The experimental results were compared with data from several evaluated libraries and previous experiments in the RRR and URR. The TALYS code was used to describe the average cross sections in the URR. The astrophysical Maxwell average cross sections (MACSs) of 79,81Br from kT= 5 to 100 keV were calculated over a sufficiently wide range of neutron energies. At a thermal energy of kT=30keV, the MACS value for 79Br 682±68 mb was in good agreement with the KADoNiS v1.0 recommended value. By contrast, the value of 293±29 mb for 81Br was substantially higher than that of the evaluated database and the KADoNiS v1.0 recommended value.
