Spatial distribution measurements of fission neutrons in water as an oxygen data test
Description:
The spatial distribution of the total neutron density from a /sup 252/Cf source in pure water was measured to high statistical precision at distances from 11 to 80 cm from the source. Assuming the adequacy of the ENDF/B-IV hydrogen, and reasonable constraints on the fission spectrum mean energy, good agreement between experiment and a one-dimensional transport calculation was obtained for both ENDF/B-III and IV oxygen, with Version III slightly better. However, small residual differences remain…
