"Precise thermal neutron capture gamma-ray cross sections sigma(gamma) for K-39,K-40,K-41 were measured on a natural potassium target with the guided neutron beam at the Budapest Reactor. The cross sections were internally standardized using a stoichiometric KCl target with well-known Cl-35(n,gamma) gamma-ray cross sections [Revay and Molnar, Radiochimica Acta 91, 361 (2003); Molnar, Revay, and Belgya, Nucl. Instrum. Meth. Phys. Res. B 213, 32 (2004)]. These data were combined with gamma-ray intensities from von Egidy et al. [J. Phys. G. Nucl. Phys. 10, 221 (1984)] and Krusche et al. [Krusche, Lieb, Ziegler, Daniel, von Egidy, Rascher, Barreau, Borner, et al., Nucl. Phys. A 417, 231 (1984); Krusche, Winter, Lieb, Hungerford, Schmidt, von Egidy, Scheerer, Kerr, and Borner, Nucl. Phys. A 439, 219 (1985)] to generate nearly complete capture gamma-ray level schemes. Total radiative neutron cross sections were deduced from the total gamma-ray cross section feeding the ground state, sigma(0) = Sigma sigma(gamma)(GS) after correction for unobserved statistical gamma-ray feeding from levels near the neutron capture energy. The corrections were performed with Monte Carlo simulations of the potassium thermal neutron capture decay schemes using the computer code DICEBOX where the simulated populations of low-lying levels are normalized to the measured cross section depopulating those levels. Comparisons of the simulated and experimental level feeding intensities have led to proposed new spins and parities for selected levels in the potassium isotopes where direct reactions are not a significant contribution. We determined the total radiative neutron cross sections sigma(0)(K-39) = 2.28 +/- 0.04 b, sigma(0)(K-40) = 90 +/- 7 b, and sigma(0)(K-41) = 1.62 +/- 0.03 b from the prompt gamma-ray data and the gamma-ray transition probability P-gamma (1524.66) = 0.164(4) in the beta(-) decay of K-42 in a low-background counting experiment.
