Abstract

We report measurements of the emission time distributions (pulse shapes) as functions of energy for neutrons emerging from two heavily irradiated, ambient-temperature polyethylene moderators in IPNS. A time-focused crystal spectrometer arrangement provided resolution such that instrumental broadening was insignificant; cooling the Ge monochromator to 10 K provided adequate reflectivity in the high energy region. Measurements covered the range 2.5 < E < 1000 meV. We introduce a novel set of functions which fit the pulse shapes over the entire range of energies with four wavelength-independent parameters.
