Abstract
The pulsed neutron method was used to determnine the diffusion parameters of thermal neutrons in beryllium at room temperature. The following values were obtained: inverse lifetime nu epsilon /sub a/ = 288 plus or minus 60 sec/sup -1/, diffustion constant D = (1.25 i 0.06) x lO/sup 5/s cm/sup 2/sec, diffusion cooling constant C = 1.1 plus or minus 0.9 cm/sup 2/. The experiment and the method of analyzing the data are described. and the results are compared with those obtained by other groups. (auth)Keywords
