The Pile Neutron Absorption Cross Sections of Bismuth

Show affiliations


The pile neutron absorption cross section of bismuth has been measured as 30.8±2.2 millibarns. Also the activation cross section of bismuth for the production of 210Po has been measured as 20.5±1.1 millibarns. The difference between these two values, namely 10.3±2.5 millibarns, is claimed to be the activation cross section for the production of a long-lived alpha-particle emitting state of 210Bi.
