THE CAPTURE OF SLOW NEUTRONS BY PROTONS

Journal Article · · Phil. Mag.

the result of a new experimental determination of the capture cross section of protons for slow neutrons is briefly reported. It is sigma /sub H/ = 0.327 plus or minus 0.004 barns and is obtained by a comparison with the absorption of boron for slow neutrons. A survey is presented of various direct and indirect methods for determining the neutron -proton capture cross section and the final value resulting from their inter-comparison is sigma /sub H/ = 0.3315 plus or minus 0.0017 barns.
