This paper presents the Maxwellian-averaged neutron capture cross sections for Tc-99 and Mo-95, Mo-96, Mo-97, and Mo-98. An extensive temperature range (5-100 keV) is included to encompass the model calculations for ongoing s-process nucleosynthesis in red giant stars where technetium has been observed. At T = 30 keV, the most often chosen temperature for the s-process, the authors find 782 + or - 39 mbarn for Tc-99, 292 + or - 2 mbarn for Mo-95, 112 + or - 6 mbarn for Mo-96, 339 + or - 2 mbarn for Mo-97, and 99 + or - 5 mbarn for Mo-98. These results are used to estimate the duration of the third dredge-up phase for two thermally pulsing asymptotic giant branch stars for which the technetium-to-molybdenum abundances have been measured.
