Slowing-Down Spectra of Neutrons in Heavy Water and Light Water Mixtures

Description: The slowing down spectra of neutrons were obtained for heavy water, light water, and mixtures of heavy water and light water. It was assumed that fission neutrons are produced uniformly throughout an infinite moderator and the only process considered was elastic scattering, spherically symmetric in the center-of-mass system. The (n,2n) reaction with the deuterium nucleus and absorption were assumed negligible. The average transfer cross section, fast diffusion coefficient, the slowing down area… more
