5. Measurement of Free Cross-Sections for slow neutrons<br />

P. Fehsenfeld, L. Koester<br />

Together with the precise value of the coherent scattering<br />

length of Bl it is necessary to measure the free crosssection<br />

of Bi with great accuracy in order to determine the<br />

neutron-electron-interaction.<br />

For this purpose a resonance detector made of Rh<br />

respectively Ag has been developed which is working in a<br />

continous fashion. Moreover a filter difference method is<br />

applied, so that the fraction of all neutrons with an energy<br />

above 1000 eV contributing to the cross-section measurement<br />

is less than 2.10~5. The first results have been obtained<br />

with two Bi-samples of different thickness<br />

(l,25eV) - (9,16 + 0,04) b<br />

(l,25eV) = (9,19 ± 0,04) b<br />

The final accuracy is expected to be somewhat better than<br />

10-5.
