OSTI ID:4647903

The Linac was operated for about 2400 hours of beam time, and a wide range of experiments was carried out using the accelerator. Parallel activity was conducted in theoretical reactor physics research. Experiments included the effect of kernels on die-away parameters, effective mass kernels in neutron thermalization, modified P-2 approximation for disadvantage factors, thin-region parameters, time-dependent neutron spectra, time dependence in small geometries, spectra in pulsed fissionable assemblies, low-energy neutron inelastic scattering program, chopper program, filter detector, fission cross section of Pu/sup 241/, capture-to-fission ratio of U/sup 235/, neutron capture-cross-section measurements, polarization of neutrons from the photodisintegration of deuterium, diffusion parameters of water, asymptotic spectrum measurements in polyethylene, the effects of coherent scattering on the thermalization of neutrons in beryllium, multiplying medium asymptotic spectrum measurement, and photonuclear investigations.
