Abstract
In this chapter, we shall consider experiments for determining the stationary spectra of very slow (E < 10 ev) neutrons in bulk media. The main part of the chapter is centered around the discussion of various methods of measurements (Secs. 15.1 and 15.2); in the last short section we summarize some important results for various moderator substances and relate them to the general theory of Chapter 10.
