Tab . 3.1 : The scattering lengths of the nickel isotopes and the resulting scattering length of<br />

natural 28Ni [3] .<br />

Neglecting the less abundant isotopes 61Ni and 64 Ni, the average scattering length is calculated<br />

as :<br />

(b) ~~ [0.68-14.4+0.26-2.8+0.04-(- 8 .7)1fnz ~t 10.2fm (3 .35)<br />

which gives the total coherent cross section of-<br />

=> 6 coherent = 4;r(b~2<br />

The incoherent scattering cross section per nickel atoms is calculated from the mean quadratic<br />

deviation :<br />

I ooherent - 4z10 .68-(14 .4-10.2)2+0 .26-(2 .8-10.22<br />

+0 .04 .(-8 .7 -10.2 2 1 fm 2 (3 .37)<br />

5 .1barn (exact : 5 .2(4)barn)<br />

Values in parentheses are the exact values taking into account the isotopes 61Ni and 64Ni and<br />

the nuclear spin incoherent scattering (sec below) .<br />

From (3 .36) and (3 .37), we learn that the<br />

incoherent scattering cross section in nickel amounts to more than one third of the coherent<br />

scattering cross section.<br />
