MEASUREMENT OF THE NEUTRON TOTAL CROSS SECTION OF U$sup 233$ FROM 0.07 TO 10,000 ev

Journal Article · · Nuclear Science and Engineering (U.S.)
OSTI ID:4150264

The neutron total cross section of U/sup 233/ was measured from 0.07 to 10,000 ev, using the ORNL fast chopper timeof-flight neutron spectrometer. Below 30 ev the neutron energy resolution varied from 0.7 to 1.5% and above 30 ev it was 60 nanosec/meter. A description is given of the measurements, the samples, and some of the errors in the measurements. The errors on the total cross section data are estimated to be from plus or minus 0.6 to 1.1% below 1 ev, from 1.1 to 2.5% between 1 and 100 ev, and from 1.5 to 5.5% above 100 ev. (auth)
