Precise measurement and analysis of neutron transmission through /sup 232/Th. [6. 0 MeV to 0. 1 MeV]

Three sets of transmission time spectra through up to eight samples of /sup 232/Th have been measured for neutron energies from 6.0 MeV to 0.1 MeV by use of a flight-time technique over 22- and 40-m path lengths, the ORELA pulsed neutron source, and a 1-mm-thick lithium glass detector. The resulting total cross section from 0.1 to 20.0 eV seems to be smaller than that contained in the ENDF/B-V evaluation. Least-squares analysis of the transmissions from 9 to 440 eV using a multilevel Breit-Wigner formalism results in neutron widths consistent with those previously reported. An average radiation width of 25.2 MeV is obtained for 19 low-energy s-wave resonances. 3 figures, 5 tables

High energy resolution measurement of the /sup 238/U neutron capture yield in the energy region between 1 and 100 keV

A measurement of the /sup 238/U neutron capture yield was performed at the 150 meter flight-path of the ORELA facility on two /sup 238/U samples (0.01224 and 0.0031 atomsbarn). The capture yeild data were normalized by Moxon's small resonance method. The energy resolution achieved in this measurement frequently resulted in doublet and triplet splittings of what appeared to be single resonance in previous measurements. This resolution should allow extension of the resolved resonance energy region in /sup 238/U from the present 4-keV limit up to 15 or 20 keV incident neutron energy. Some 200 small resonances of the (/sup 238/U /plus/ n) compound nucleus have been observed which had not been detected in transmission measurement, in the energy range from 250 eV to 10 keV
