Figure 2
Measured scattering cross section from Ar (blue), He (red) and air (magenta) as a function of neutron wavelength. Measurements were made with an 18 cm path length of gas at room temperature and P = 1 × 105 Pa and L2 = 1.33 m and by averaging the intensity on the detector over the scattering angle range 2 ≤ θ ≤ 24°. Solid lines are obtained using equations (6)–(9) with Gθ(0) = 1. The air cross sections are rescaled by a factor of 0.1 to compress the vertical axis. |
