Abstract

Several of the more significant physical experiments which have been performed in recent years with nuclear reactors as measuring instruments or as neutron sources are described. The examples are selected partly because of their importance and partly with diversification in mind. Short descriptions are given of the pile oscillator method of measuring neutron absorption cross sections, the measurement of neutron capture gamma-ray spectra, the study of neutron resonances by time-of-flight, neutron diffraction, neutron reflection, and the radioactive decay of the neutron.
