Total neutron cross sections en deuterium in the energy range 1 keV to 1000 keV have been measured, and basically agree with our previously reported results. Total neutron cross sections on deuterium provi de a basic test for nuclear three body theory. The most recent continuous energy Measurement in the MeV region was repcrted by Clement et all. These measurements covered the neutron energy range 0.5 MeV to 30 MeV. The only extensive measurements below 0.5 MeV were recently reported by the present authors. They found a rapid rise in cross section for decreasing 2 neutron energy below 300 keV. The experimental results were well explained by three body theoretical calculations of the quartet n-D scattering. The present communication reports a remeasurement of the total cross section below 1.0 MeV, under somewhat difiereiit experimental conditions, V NOTICE | This report was prepared as an account of workl sponsored by the United States Government Neither I MASTER the United States nor the United States Atomic Energy
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
