Abstract
A quantitative method has been developed for determining yields of pulses; the method is based on the detection of the γ-rays produced in the capture of neutrons slowed down in paraffin. The detectors used in this scheme have a sensitivity of 0.1 neut/cm2. The scheme presented here makes it possible to carry out measurements in the presence of electrical disturbances and the γ-rays which accompany the neutron radiation; the method can also be used with controlled-detector operation.
