The four neutron groups populating the ground state and the lower three excited states of 28Si were studied with a stilbene neutron spectrometer. Total neutron cross sections were obtained from measurements at detection angles of 0, 45, 90, and 135 deg. A large number of resonances were seen, indicating many levels in 29Si. By using the reciprocity theorem, the cross sections for 28Si(n,α0)25Mg reaction were obtained and compared with those given in the literature.
