Abstract
The atomic sputtering by fast neutrons incident upon a thin gold foil target was determined by measuring the activity of radioactive gold atoms collected during continuous exposure of the target to a known fast‐neutron flux. The sputtering ratio (atoms of gold sputtered per fast‐neutron‐crossing the surface of the target) was found to be (1.0±0.3)×10−4, assuming an isotropic neutron flux and negligible thermal‐neutron contribution to the sputtering.This publication has 6 references indexed in Scilit:
