A Monte Carlo Study of Neutron Thermalization
Description:
"The slowing down of neutrons from fission to absorption energies in a homogeneous medium has been treated by a Monte Carlo method. thermalization by elastic collisions in both light and heavy water was computed on an IBM 650. One-sixth the mean-square distance travelled by the neutrons was interpreted as the migration area. This quantity was analyzed to give the age, t, both above and below the indium resonance, and the thermal diffusion constant. D, as functions of the moderator temperature, …
