Description

A measurement of the 238U neutron capture yield was performed at the 150 meter flight-path of the ORELA facility on two 238U samples (0.0124 and 0.0031 atoms/barn). The capture yield data were normalized by Moxon's small resonance method. The energy resolution achieved in this measurement frequently resulted in doublet and triplet splittings of what appeared to be single resonances in previous measurements. This resolution should allow extension of the resolved resonance energy region in 238U from the present 4-keV limit up to 15 or 20 keV incident neutron energy. Some 200 small resonances of the (238U + n) compound nucleus have been observed which had not been detected in transmission measurements, in the energy range from 250 eV to 10 keV. (author)
