Description

The advantage of using neutron spectrometry based on the energy distributions of the tritons produced by the reaction 6Li(n,t)4He has already been stressed in previous publications. The data are presented from two series of measurements carried out on a natural uranium slab. The stability and the reproducibility of Et distribution measurements have been verified. In the second series the background noise was eliminated. Preliminary treatment of the data has made it possible to define the energy range analyzed; it covers the whole field of low energies.

Abstract (French)

L'interet d'effectuer la spectrometrie des neutrons a partir des distributions des energies de tritons emis lors de la reaction 6Li(n,t)4He a ete souligne dans des publications precedentes. Dans ce travail, on presente les donnees de deux series de mesures dans un massif d'uranium naturel. On a pu verifier la stabilite et la reproductibilite des mesures des distributions Et. Dans la deuxieme serie, le bruit de fond a ete elimine. Un traitement preliminaire des donnees a permis de mettre en evidence le domaine analyse des energies, on voit qu'il couvre tout le domaine des faibles energies. (auteurs)
