TOTAL NEUTRON CROSS SECTIONS OF COPPER IRON, AND ALUMINUM NEAR 14 MEV,

Abstract

Total neutron cross sections of Mg, Al, Fe, and Cu have been measured using T(d, n) neutrons in the energy range 12 to 14 MeV. The accuracy (counting statistics) is better than 1%. The energy resolution (two standard deviations of the energy resolution function) varies from 35 to 150 keV. Fluctuations of amplitude 2 to 3% and width of the order of 100 keV are found in the cross sections of Mg and Al. No such variations are found in the cross sections of Fe and Cu; a chi squared test agrees with a straight line fit to the Fe and Cu data. (Author)
