Spectrometry of multiplicity of secondary radiation as a method of measurement of neutron cross-section and investigation of nuclei

The present paper deals with the new method of neutron cross-section measurement and the investigation of ways of formation and decay of excited nuclei. The idea of the procedure from the view-point of measurement of partial neutron cross-sections has been described previously. It involves the measurement of total multiplicity sprectum of gamma-quanta and neutrons arising from reactions with neutrons. The object of the present article is the further generalization of the multiplicity spectrometry method and the broadening of the range of problems under investigation. At the same time a brief review of experiments on the multiplicity spectrometry is given
