Novel Investigation of Iron Cross Sections via Spherical Shell Transmission Measurements and Particle Transport Calculations for Material Embrittlement Studies. Status Report.
Work continues on this project, with the focus of attentin directed towards optimizing the design of the experiments that we will perform. Our principle activities have been studies of the configuration of the iron sample, investigations of the source reactions to be used for the experiment with the source located within the iron sample, and on improvements in detector efficiency for determining the neutron yield as a function of angle.
