The total neutron cross sections have been measured and resonance parameters determined for 243Cm, 245 Cm, and 246Cm from 0.01 to 30 eV and for 244Cm up to 90 eV. A total thermal neutron cross section at 0.0253 eV was determined for 244Cm of 23 ± 3 b and 2900 ± 450 b for 245Cm. Resonance absorption integrals of 2345 ± 470 b for 243Cm, 605 ± 40 b for 244Cm and 897 ± 180 b for 245Cm were calculated from the resonance parameters.
