| Determination of the boron content in
polyethylene samples using the reactor Orphee |
| F. Gunsing, A. Menelle,, O. Aberle |
| The boron content of two unknown types of polyethylene has been determined
relative to a known reference type. Samples of polyethylene, including
a known boron-less one, were irradiated with thermal neutrons at the reactor
Orph´ee at Saclay in France. Prompt gamma rays were measured with
a CeBr3 detector and the intensity of the 478 keV line from the 10B(n,a1g)7Li*
reaction was extracted for each sample. |
