Neutron moderation properties from the cold mesitylene moderator have been studied. Kyoto University Accelerator driven Neutron Source has been used for these experiments. The container of the mesitylene moderator is situated in front of the polyethylene moderator and the change of the time of flight spectrum has been recorded as a function of the temperature of the mesitylene moderator. By fitting the Maxwell distribution to the obtained TOF spectra, the neutron temperature corresponding to the mesitylene temperature is estimated.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
