The Slow Neutron Transmission of Be Metal as Measured by a Neutron Beam Spectrometer in the Energy Region 0.004 eV to 50 eV

Description: Abstract. Slow neutron transmission measurements as a function of the time of flight of the incident neutron have been made for three different thicknesses of Beryllium. The energy region from 0.004 eV to 50 eV was investigated using the Columbia neutron beam spectrometer system. Particular emphasis was placed on the very low energy region (from 0.004 eV tp 0/2 eV or from 0.6 to 5 [length]) where pronounced crystal interference effects were observed. The effective slow neutron cross section (in… more

The Thermal Conductivity of Liquid UF6

Description: From introduction: "The measurement of the thermal conductivity of liquid TF6 presented unusual difficulties because of two of its properties which necessitated working with a closed system. The properties were (1) the liquid can exist as such only above 64.05°C. at which temperature its saturated vapor pressure is 1140 mm. of mercury, and (2) the compound reacts rapidly with moist air. Also because of the liquid's extremely corrosive nature, it was necessary to design a cell of special corrosi… more
