Abstract
This chapter gives an overview of neutron-induced cross section measurements, both past and present. A selection of the principal characteristics of time-of-flight and monoenergetic fast neutron facilities is given together with several examples of measurements. The physics of typical neutron cross sections and their measurements are explained in detail. Finally an overview of the R -matrix formalism, which is at the basis of resonance reactions, is given. The many references provide a starting point for the interested reader.
