Integral experiment to test carbon and nitrogen cross sections. Final report, 23 August 1971--15 August 1972

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:4328176
An integral experiment, designed to provide high sensitivity tests for gamma-ray production and neutron-scattering cross sections, was performed. The experiment is based on the whitesource, pulsed-neutron, time-of-flight method with the sample at the detector end of the flight path. Measurements were made with a single 5 x 5 cm cylindrical NE-213 detector positioned at Pulse-shape discrimination was used to separate neutron and gamma-ray counts. Measured count rates due to secondary gamma rays and scattered neutrons from two sample materials, graphite and liquid nitrogen, are reported here as functions of time and incident neutron energy. Differences between calculated gammaray and neutron count rates and those reported should be readily interpreted in terms of specific, cross section deficiencies at well defined incident neutron energies in the 1.5- to 20-MeV range.
