Neutron cross section standards are important in the measurement and evaluation of all other neutron reaction cross sections.

Neutron Cross-section Standards
Not many cross sections can be defined as absolute - most are measured relative to the cross section standards. The most recent evaluations were completed in 2017. Further information can be found in Nuclear Data Sheets Volume 148, February 2018, Pages 143-188.
