Description

Neutron pulse die-away experiments for small graphite assemblies by using a pulsed "cold" neutron source technique were carried out for the purpose to measure the pseudo-decay-constants of trapped neutrons at the lowest Bragg-peak energy EB of coherent scattering in graphite, and also to estimate the temperature dependence of inelastic. scattering cross section of neutrons at EB. Experiments were carried out for 77 and 194°K graphite systems with dimensions from 40 x 40 x 40 cm3 to 30 x 30 x 20 cm3.<BR>The experimentally determined pseudo-decay-constants showed distinct temperature dependence and good agreement with the theoretical inelastic scattering cross sections by Young-Koppel model of phonon frequency distribution of graphite at these low temperatures.
