Figure 6
(a) Plots of the scattering from the 2 mm thick water sample measured for sample-to-detector distances L of 1.3 m (black), 2 m (dark blue), 3 m (green), 4 m (red), 6 m (purple), 8 m (cyan), 10 m (orange) and 13 m (magenta). Background-corrected absolute cross sections from water, as measured with Cd-only detector lining, are shown as open triangles, whereas measurements with the added plastic sheet are shown as filled circles. (b). The ratio of the count rate from water observed with plastic and Cd linings as a function of the sample-to-detector distance, L. Ratios larger than one indicate additional extraneous scattering from PMMA sheets. |
