摘要
We have investigated the properties of the ultracold neutron converter materials deuterium D-2, oxygen O-2 and heavy methane CD4 in the temperature range between 8 K and room temperature. The experimental program was performed at the FUNSPIN beamline of the Swiss Spallation Neutron Source (SINQ) at Paul Scherrer Institut (PSI). In this paper the measured cold neutron total cross-sections for D-2, O-2 and CD4 are presented. (C) 2009 Published by Elsevier B.V.
