The paper describes a multisection 4π scintillation detector that is designed for neutron studies by multiplicity spectrometry and is based on NaI(Tl) crystals and a scintillating converter (n, γ) that contains a neutron absorber. It is shown that the use of a scintillating converter increases the registration efficiency and the quality of separation of events of radiative capture and fission with preservation of a low neutron background level.

Alpha, equal to the ratio of the radiative-capture cross section of a neutron to the fission cross section, is one of the basic constants necessary for the optimization of reactors. In this paper the method of multiplicity spectroscopy was used to perform absolute measurements of alpha for plutonium 239 for allowed resonances in the neutron energy range 7-200 eV. Two different detectors and correspondingly two different methods for separating the fission multiplicity spectra from the total measured multiplicity spectra were used. Measurements were performed on the 26-meter path of the LUE-60 Fakel linear accelerator. Boron 10, cadmium, and cadmium oxides filters were used to absorb recycling neutrons. A full description of the data acquisition system and spectrometer and a comprehensive analysis of the measurements, their accuracy, and their implications are given.

A procedure for measuring neutron cross sections and their ratios based on the multiplicity spectrometry of gamma quanta and neutrons emitted by excited nuclei is considered. Multiplicity spectrometers are described, and their functional characteristics are presented. Results of the radiative capture of fissile nuclei and highly precise alpha value measurements are analyzed in detail. Certain results of the absolute alpha value measurement at **2**3**5U resonances over the energy range up to 35 ev are given. The accuracy of the data obtained is approximately 2%.

The multiplicity spectrometry technique of secondary emission of nuclei excited by thermal neutrons for the neutron cross sections measurements is developed. A multisectional NaI(Tl) scintillation detector for gamma-ray detection with high efficiency and 4pi-geometry is used. The experiments are performed on a stationary 2 MW research reactor by the time-of-flight method. Such a method and apparatus are also to be used to measure the important neutron constant ``alpha'' (capture-to-fission ratio) for 235U.

In order to measure the neutron-physical constants with high accuracy and to investigate ways of formation and decay of excited nuclei a method has been developed at the I.V. Kurchatov AEI, based on the gamma-quanta and neutrons multiplicity spectrometry. During 1974-1978 there have been constructed a number of multisectional 4..pi..-detectors which have demonstrated great possibilities for this method. A detector permitting the required accuracy of measurements of neutron cross sections and their ratios has been chosen and designed on the basis of these works. The detector with 4..pi..-geometry has 46 sections and was based on naI(Tl) crystals with the total volume of the scintillator of approx. 100 1. The detector was used at the 26-m station. The results of U-235 absolute alpha value measurements are presented. The measurements are carried out over the energy range from 0.1 to 30 keV with the high accuracy - better than 5%. The equipment parameters and measurement conditions are listed. (WHK)

... Measurements of the multiplicity spectra for 235 U have been performed in the resonance energy region [1][2][3]to determine the fission, radiative capture and the a=s g /s f value. These measurements have shown that the use of the multiplicity radiation spectrometry method allows low methodical errors connected with the background and the normalization to supportable values. ...

... Only a limited number of cross section measurements for the 92 Zr(n, γ ) reaction were carried out in the past [9][10][11][12][13][14][15]. Most of the information to evaluate resonance parameters and to subsequently derive Maxwellian averaged cross sections (MACSs) was obtained from the results of experiments carried out at ORELA [9] and n_TOF [15]. ...
