Abstract:Neutron transmission cross sections of lead and bismuth were measured for 143 keV and with high precision for 1970 eV neutrons which were selected from the reactor neutron spectrum by means of a novel dual combination of resonance scatterers. These data and highly accurate values of the coherent scattering lengths at zero energy and of transmission cross sections at 1.26, 5.19, 18.8 and 132 eV were the basis to determine the potential scattering radii, the neutron electron and the electric polarization scatter… Show more
“…For the determination of the neutron's polarizability we performed high precision measurements of the neutron cross sections of lead by means of the 186W and 59C0 double resonance scattering [5]. However, to achieve a markedly better accuracy of the result, Pb cross section values at energies of about 2 keV would be favourable as shown in [6]. Since the 2850 eV of the 2aNa resonance is unfavourable due to poor selectivity and nearby resonances in Pb and Bi, we looked for a combination of scatterers with resonance energies at 2000 eV which are different just by the mean energy loss AE.…”

Neutrons of energies within a 50 eV interval at 1970 eV have been selected from reactor neutrons by means of resonance scattering on a target of 63Cu and subsequently by the 1970 eV resonance of a 8~ target. Insertion of stationary filters and the technique of difference measurements with a resonance filter resulted in a high selectivity, which allowed the determination of cross sections for quasi-monoenergetic neutrons for the elements:

“…3.5. The form factors deduced using the Paris or RSC potentials give slopes at in good agreement with the data of Koester et al (97,98) for the scattering of low-energy neutrons by atomic electrons, but the form factors deduced using the Argonne V14 or Nijmegen potentials give slopes which are about 50% larger. However, the Platchkov data themselves do not determine this slope very well -the value deduced for the slope is determined by the parameter a in Eq.…”

Koester et al (97,98) obtain f m, while Alexandrov et al (99) obtain f m . Leeb and Teichtmeister (100) have analyzed the methods employed by both groups and trace the discrepancy to the treatment of resonance corrections.…”
