The <a:math xmlns:a="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML"> <a:mo>(</a:mo> <a:mi mathvariant="normal">n</a:mi> <a:mo>,</a:mo> <a:mo> </a:mo> <a:mi>γ</a:mi> <a:mo>)</a:mo> </a:math> cross section of silver is crucial for the nucleosynthesis process of nuclear astrophysics, the design of silver-indium-cadmium absorber rod in the nuclear reactors, and neutron resonance capture analysis for determining the elemental and isotopic composition of cultural heritage. The high-precision <c:math xmlns:c="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML"> <c:mi>Ag</c:mi> <c:mo>(</c:mo> <c:mi mathvariant="normal">n</c:mi> <c:mo>,</c:mo> <c:mo> </c:mo> <c:mi>γ</c:mi> <c:mo>)</c:mo> </c:math> cross section was measured from 1 eV to 1 MeV at the Back-n facility of the Chinese Spallation Neutron Source using the time-of-flight method and pulse height weighting technique. The resonance parameters were accurately extracted in the resolved resonance region by the multilevel multichannel <e:math xmlns:e="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML"> <e:mi>R</e:mi> </e:math> -matrix code . The code was used to describe the average cross sections in the unresolved resonance region, and the Maxwellian-averaged cross sections (MACSs) of <f:math xmlns:f="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML"> <f:mrow> <f:mmultiscripts> <f:mi mathvariant="normal">Ag</f:mi> <f:mprescripts/> <f:none/> <f:mn>107</f:mn> </f:mmultiscripts> </f:mrow> </f:math> and <h:math xmlns:h="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML"> <h:mrow> <h:mmultiscripts> <h:mi mathvariant="normal">Ag</h:mi> <h:mprescripts/> <h:none/> <h:mn>109</h:mn> </h:mmultiscripts> </h:mrow> </h:math> were further given in the 5–100 keV range.
