An absolute calibration of the National Bureau of Standards thermal neutron flux

Journal Article · · Journal of Research of the National Bureau of Standards, Section A: Physics and Chemistry
The NBS Thermal Neutron Flux was calibrated in terms of the gold thermal neutron capture cross section. The effective thermal neutron flux density is estimated to be 4307 plus or minus 2 percent n/cm/sup 2/ sec in September 1961. This figure is in agreement with a recent value quoted by the NBS.
