MEASUREMENT OF THE TOTAL NEUTRON CROSS SECTIONS OF IN AND SM,

Abstract

Measurements of the total cross sections for neutrons interacting with the In and Sm nuclei were carried out on a neutron spectrometer described earlier. The width of the channel was 8 microsec with a 2.23 microsec/m resolution for In and 2.5 microsec/m resolution for Sm. The In target was in the form of a 60 mg/sq cm metallic strip of natural isotopic composition and was investigated over the 0.7-14 ev range. Sm was in the form of a chemical compound with 120 mg/sq cm of natural samarium. The article contains a detailed description of the mathematical procedures used for the processing of experimental data. (Author)
