Description

Self-shielding factors of neutron capture cross section have been measured in the unresolved resonance energy region for Ta-181, U-238 and Th-232, using the standard time-of-flight method at the electron linac facility of Research Reactor Institute, Kyoto University. The result of Th-232 is reported here. A set of transmission and self-indication ratios obtained for several transmission samples of different thickness gives a self-shielding factor for an arbitrary dilution cross section. Measured self-shielding factors are compared with calculations where average resonance parameters are quoted from JENDL-2 and ENDF/B-IV nuclear data files. (author)
