AbstractAbstract
[en] Study of the slowing-down age of neutrons in graphite. In the aim to eliminate the effect of resonance neutrons on the detector, neutrons captured by cadmium are studied with a classic method consisting of calculating the difference between the activity measured with and without screens. This method is described and screening properties of cadmium and gadolinium are compared. The experimental parameters and detectors details are described. The radioactive source is Ra-α-Be. The experimental results are given and the experimental distribution is compared with theoretical formula. In a second part, the spatial distribution of resonance neutrons in indium is discussed. Finally, the neutron slowing-down between the indium resonance and the thermal equilibrium is discussed as well as the research for the effective value of slowing-down age. The slowing-down age definition is given before calculating its effective value. It compared the slowing-down law with the experiment and the Gurney theory. (M.P.)
