Neutron cross section measurements using the Oak Ridge Electron Linear Accelerator

Abstract

During this reporting period the work supported by the U.S. Department of Energy Grant No. DE-FGO2-87ER40326.A005 has resulted in two publications [Phys. Rev. C 44, 6_7 (1991) and Astrophys. J. Supp. 8_Q, 403 (1992)] and two papers presented at professional meetings. The neutron scattering measurement for this budget period has been completed along with scattering measurements for carbon and 2aSi. The carbon scattering yield serves to define the detector efficiencies. The silicon sample was available and is of importance in both nuclear physics and reactor physics.
