Abstract

The total effective neutron cross section σt for sintered beryllium oxide in the 0.0025–10 ev neutron energy range was measured by means of a mechanical selector at four temperatures of the scattering sample: 290, 800, 1300 and 1500 °K. Measurements of σt for beryllium oxide samples of different microstructure were also carried out at room temperature. Slight anisotropy of scattering, due to texture, and a marked influence of the size of the crystal grain on σt, due to the extinction effect, were noted.
