Methods for Applying Transmission and n-vs-E Corrections in the Determination of n2200 by the Macklin-deSaussure Experiment
Description:
A careful determination of n2200 from results of the Macklin-deSaussure manganese bath experiment involves corrections for (1) the weak but non-zero transmission of sub-cadmium neutrons through the uranium or plutonium foils, and (2) the small variation of n with energy in the sub-cadmium region. This report presents the derivation of a single general expression for applying both these corrections, and then describes two IBM 704 codes (MTC and GTC) which were written especially to facilitate th…
