>c scattering cross sections of neutrons in graphite were calculated for neutron energy less than 2000 k/sub 0/. For the lattice vibrations in graphite, the model proposed by Krumhansl and Brooks was used. The mean energy loss per collision and the mean logarithmic energy decrement were calculated. Assuming that close to equilibrium the neutron distribution remains Maxwellian, the time variation of the temperature of this distribution was calculated. The slowing down relaxation time near equilibrium came to nearly 170 mu sec, which compares well with the experimental value of 185 plus or minus 45 mu sec. (auth)
