RESEARCH STUDY ON NEUTRON INTERACTIONS IN MATTER AS RELATED TO IMAGE FORMATION. Technical Progress Report No. 3, January 1, 1961-March 31, 1961

OSTI ID:4013182
A review was made of the present state of the art of neutron detectors which appear usable for neutron imaging. The thermal or slow neutron energy region was investigated where cross section differences between elements are high, but where neutron scattering constitutes a major part of the total cross section in many elements. Using an optical spot diagram prepared from the analytically derived neatron scatter spread function for the thick scatterer, images were synthesized and compared to an equivalent neutron radiograph with some success.
