Measurement of the Temperature of the Neutrons in Reactor G1; MESURE DE LA TEMPERATURE DES NEUTRONS DANS LA PILE G1 (PAR LA MODULATION DU FAISCEAU)

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:4333381

A precise experimental method has been adapted to the analysis of the spectrum of neutrons in the thermal region. This method uses the technique of modulation applied to a beam of neutrons issuing from a characteristic point in the pile. The analysis of the spectrum is made by adjusting by the method of least squares, an analytical form to the experimental results. In this report are given the results obtained with a beam from the center of the moderator of G 1. The spectrum of this beam essentially represents the spectrum of the neutrons in the moderator. The most probable velocity was determined by means of Maxwells functions. The measurements were made of different moderator temperatures between 304 and 435 deg K. (auth)
