STANDARDIZATION OF FABRICATION TECHNIQUES (THRESHOLD FOILS). Period covered : January 1958 to September 22, 1959

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:4152277
Techniques used to develop and standardize a series of neutron-detection foils for measurement of neutron spectra are described. The series includes gold and cobalt foils, and Pu/sup 239/, U/sup 238/, and sulfur threshold foils. A method of calibrating the foils with a low-flux research reactor is discussed. The instrumentation required to obtain data from the foils is presented, together with the neutron intensities that may be explored with these detectors. (auth)
