Alpha counts of the 10B(nth,α)7Li reaction from the 10B thin film and the reference sample were measured using a gridded ionization chamber and thermal neutrons, which were moderated and thermalized by paraffin from fast neutrons produced in D(d,n)3He reaction on a 4.5 MV Van de Graaff. The neutron flux was normalized by measuring the fission yield of a small 238U fission chamber.展开更多
