Investigation of neutron guide systems: Analysis techniques and an experiment. (Issledovanie neytronovodnykh sistem: Metody rascheta i eksperiment)

摘要

This paper discusses the in-depth study of the specific characteristics of the physical processes associated with the total reflection of neutrons from actual reflective coatings; the study of the process whereby neutrons transit a nonideal image channel with allowance for the aforementioned characteristics, and; the development of physical criteria and techniques for calculating the optimum geometry of a neutron guide source system based on the laws found to govern this transit process.
