Title: Conditions for Utilization of a Beam of Neutrons for the Determination of the Humidity of Soil. Influence of the Apparent Density and of Salt; CONDITIONS D'UTILISATION DE LA SONDE A NEUTRONS POUR LES DETERMINATIONS D'HUMIDITE DANS LE SOL INFLUENCE DE LA DENSITE APPARENTE ET DE LA SALURE

For presentation at Colloquium on the Use of Radioisotopes and Research on Plant Nutrition by the Soil, Feb. 26--Mar. 2, 1962, Bombay. A fast neutron source (e.g., the Ra-Be type) is lowered into the ground, and the ground-level thermal neutron intensity is measured using a BF/sub 3/ counter. The neutrons may be thermalized by collisions with H atoms (mostly in water), or they may be captured by Cl atoms in NaCl. The calibration of the neutron sonde, the effects of the physical parameters of the BF/sub 3/ counter on the linearity of the response, and the effects of the apparent density and NaCl content of the soil are studied.
