Record 3 2008-11-18

English

Subject field(s)
  • Atomic Physics
  • Radiation Protection
CONT

A neutron detector having an enhanced response to neutrons of a preselected energy, said detector comprising : a body of neutron-responsive material operative to produce a detectable signal in response to the interaction of a neutron therewith; a sensitive material associated with at least a portion of said body of neutron-responsive material, said sensitive material having a resonance at said preselected energy which increases its neutron interaction cross section thereat as compared to its neutron interaction cross section at non-resonant energies.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Physique atomique
  • Radioprotection
CONT

Un détecteur de neutrons comprend un corps en matière sensible aux neutrons pouvant produire un signal détectable en réponse à son interaction avec un flux de neutrons, ainsi qu'un sensibilisateur constitutif ou additionnel augmentant la réaction du détecteur par rapport à des neutrons, d'une énergie présélectionnée.

Record 4 1997-11-28

English

Subject field(s)
  • Atomic Physics
  • Radar, Radio Guidance and Goniometry
  • Chemistry
DEF

In spectroscopy, the observed broadening of a spectral line resulting from the thermal motion of the molecules, atoms, or nuclei. In reactor technology, it is the observed broadening of the energy width of a cross section resonance resulting from the thermal motion of the target particles.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Physique atomique
  • Radar, radioguidage et radiogoniométrie
  • Chimie
DEF

En spectroscopie, élargissement observé d'une raie spectrale dû à l'agitation thermique des atomes, molécules ou noyaux. En technologie des réacteurs, élargissement observé des bandes d'énergie de résonance des sections efficaces des particules cibles résultant de leur agitation thermique.

Record 6 1980-11-21

English

Subject field(s)
  • Atomic Physics
OBS

The resonance integral in which the cross section is replaced by an effective cross section and which gives the true reaction rate when the flux density does not vary inversely as the neutron energy.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Physique atomique
OBS

Intégrale de résonance dans laquelle la section efficace est remplacée par une section efficace effective, et qui donne le vrai taux de réaction lorsque la densité de flux neutronique varie autrement que selon la loi de l'inverse de l'énergie des neutrons.
