- Summary
- The modification and installation of the new General Atomic L-Band Linear Accelerator is reported. Neutron spectra were remeasured by a pulsed-beam time-of-flight technique in water solutions poisoned by CdSO/sub 4/. Below 0.004 ev more reliability was obtained. The poisoned ZrH/sub 1.5/ spectrum was also measured. The study of the characteristics of neutron detectors urder puised conditions continued. The neutron spectrum in poisoned graphite was measured; disagreements with theory are apparent at 0.1 ev, but which is in error is not known. An improvement in the slew chopper rotor, consisting of a new rotor of berated plastic, is discussed. Investigation of perturbation effects of the fission counter used on die-away experiments was carried out. Consideration was given to acquiring a small data-processing computer for the linear accelerator group. (T.R.H.)
