Neutron cross sections and Doppler effect of the 1. 056 eV resonance in /sup 240/Pu (open access)

Neutron cross sections and Doppler effect of the 1. 056 eV resonance in /sup 240/Pu

/sup 240/Pu possesses a value for the dilute resonance capture integral that is mostly due to the resonance at 1.056 eV. It is important to the neutron economy of a reactor to know the accurate size of the resonance, i.e., GAMMA/sub n/ and GAMMA/sub ..gamma../. The HFBR fast chopper facility has been used to make a determination of these resonance parameters. In this low energy region the intensity and resolution of the instrument are adequate for precise measurements.
