Temperature-dependent transmission and self-indication measurements upon depleted U in the unresolved region
Neutron transmission and self-indication ratio measurements have been carried out at the RPI LINAC on depleted U up to 100 KeV in order to investigate the temperature dependence of resonance self-shielding. These measurements were performed at three sample temperatures (77 deg k, 295 deg k, and 973 deg k) and with sample thicknesses ranging from 0.0076 to 0.0621 atom/barn. Both stochastic sampling and analytical methods have been used to interpret these data. Average resonance parameters have been obtained and temperature dependence as well as sample thickness dependence of the data have been extensively studied.
