Some comments on resolution and the analysis and interpretation of experimental results from differential neutron measurements

“…A well-known example is the neutron total cross section for 6 Li in the vicinity of the 250-keV resonance. 9 Measurements must be performed in increments which are small compared with the resolution of the experiment in order to locate the peak of the resonance and define the average cross section at that energy. Measurements near threshold must be conducted with similar care, otherwise, comparison of data sets may be misleading.…”

“…a(i,p)dp (9) /w replaces Eq. (2), where the index "i" identifies a specific neutron group (i = 1 labels the dominant primary group).…”
