The Construction Of A Single Crystal Neutron Diffraction Unit And Measurement Of Effective Neutron Temperature, Larry Dean Thompson
Masters Theses
"The continued expansion of the nuclear reactor facility and the nuclear engineering program makes it desirable that a neutron spectrometer be available at the reactor facility. This unit would be available for use in graduate and undergraduate laboratories and for graduate research.
A single crystal, white radiation spectrometer including collimator, automatic controls, and shielding was designed and constructed.
The performance of the unit was checked using LiF and Cu crystals. A rocking crystal curve and a θ - 2θ curve was obtained with each crystal. The effective neutron temperature was then determined from the LiF crystal θ - 2θ curve"--Abstract, …
