Motivation
Neutron capture cross sections of Ge crucial for• understanding elemental abundances from Ge to Sr• Low background experiments: - GERDA (neutrinoless double b decay of 76Ge) - Dark matter experiments, e.g. CDMS-II (Ge detectors)

Beam Time Request
• n_TOF EAR-1 – high neutron energy resolution, high neutron flux • C6D6 Detection system – low neutron sensitivity• Samples: enriched GeO2 pellets from ISOFLEX prepared at PSI, cylindrical form, 2 cm diameter
• split measurement over 2 experimental campaigns

Summary
• (n,g) cross sections on Ge isotopes are crucial for understanding s process nucleosynthesis and are important for estimating backgrounds in dark matter and double b decay experiments• Few experimental data on Ge in the keV neutron energy region
Goal:• measure cross section and analyze resonances from thermal up to about 200 keV• MACSs from 10-100 keV with uncertainties <5%
Measurement:• enriched GeO2 samples of 2 g• Measurement at n_TOF EAR-1 - high neutron energy resolution, high neutron flux• C6D6 capture setup - low neutron sensitivity
• 12x1018 protons on target, split over 2 experimental campaigns
