Title: Inelastic neutron scattering from {sup 238}U

Conference ·
OSTI ID:62161

A measurement of the neutron inelastic scattering cross-section of {sup 238}U at 4 distant neutron energies in the low keV region has been undertaken using a 30m flight path on the pulsed neutron source GELINA. The scattered neutrons are detected in a plastic scintillator after passing through a 270 mm iron filter. The values obtained for the cross-section to the first excited 2{sup +} state in {sup 238}U are 293{+-}31, 660{+-}296, 978{+-}73 and 1176{+-}95 mb at neutron energies of 68.2, 126.6, 182.4 and 213.6 keV respectively.
