Abstract:The paper describes calculations on the distribution in space of slow neutrons based on the application of diffusion laws to their motions. The effects of using spheres of different sizes, and of changing the composition of the hydrogenous slowing-down medium, are discussed. Curves are given which can be compared with the results of the experiments on the slowing down in different media carried out by the author in collaboration with Mr T. Bjerge, and a revision of the calculations based on these experiments l… Show more
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.
