We measured the thermal neutron capture cross section for the (180)W nucleus. There is only one previous measurement with regard to this cross section, and it yielded a value of 30(-100%)(+300%) b. To determine whether (181)W is an appropriate low energy neutrino source, the thermal neutron capture cross section should be measured more precisely to estimate the production rate of (181)W inside a nuclear reactor. We measured the cross section of (180)W using a natural tungsten foil and obtained a value of 22.6 +/- 1.7 b.
