Absorption Analysis Applied to Neutrons in a Thermal Column

Abstract

The energy spectrum of diffuse neutrons in the thermal column of the MIT reactor has been determined by analyzing transmission data. The results are compared to a Maxwellian distribution and to a previous experiment done on collimated thermal neutrons.
