THE MEASUREMENT OF THERMAL NEUTRON CROSS-SECTIONS USING THE DIMPLE OSCILLATOR

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:4263143
; ; ; ;
The techniques used in the measurement of thermal neutron absorption cross sections using the Dimple Pile Oscillator during the period May to August 1957 are described. Measurements on many elements are presented, including several of interest in reactor construction. The calibration of the apparatus in terms of Harwell standard boron (cross section = 766.6 barns) is described. (auth)
