EXPERIMENTAL DETERMINATION OF CORRECTIONS TO THE NEUTRON ACTIVATION OF GOLD FOILS EXPOSED IN WATER

Technical Report ·
DOI:https://doi.org/10.2172/4710823· OSTI ID:4710823

The corrections required to deduce unperturbed neutron fluxes from measurements with foil absorbers were determined experimentally for the case of gold foils exposed in a light-water medium. The results are in good agreement with the theoretical predictions of Dalton and Osborn and of Ritchie and Eldridge. (auth)
