Book Description
The mean square slowing-down distance to indium resonance derived from the slowing-down distribution has been measured for water and for three water-iron mixtures for neutrons from a 0.1-gram Ra-alpha-Be source. The values of resonance for water-iron volume ratios of 1, 2, and 3 and for water were 347, 336, 314, and 291 centimeters square, respectively. Within the accuracy of the measurements, the relaxation length alpha was approximately the same for water and for the three water-iron mixtures, the average value being 10.0 centimeters.
