MEASURING THE RATIO OF EPI-THERMAL TO THERMAL NEUTRON DENSITIES USING THICK GOLD FOILS (in Japanese)

Measurements were made of the cadmium ratios of gold foils for thicknesses ranging from approximately 2 to 80 mg/cm/sup 2/. Foil thickness correction factors are presented both graphically and in tabular form, which would be valuable for the determination of the ratio of epithermal to thermal neutron densities. Some discussions on the components of the correction factor are also included here. Measurements in the core of JRR-1 are presented and the total epithermal neutron density is determined to be 0.10 times the thermal one. (auth)
