Title: The Capture Cross-Sections of Neodymium Isotopes for Pile Neutrons
Other Titles: Neutron Capture by Neodymium Isotopes
Authors: Walker, William
Advisor: Thode, H. G.
Department: Physics
Keywords: cross-section;neodymium isotope;pile neutron
Publication Date: Oct-1952
Abstract: A Dempster-type double-focussing mass spectrometer has been used to determine the relative abundances of the isotopes of neodymium using two samples, one irradiated in a strong neutron flux, the other, obtained from the same source, unirradiated. A comparison of these results permits the calculation of the cross-section of each isotope for the capture of pile neutrons. Results previously obtained have been extended to give definite cross-sections for three of the isotopes, two of which have not previously been reported, and to lower the upper limits for the remainder.
