Abstract
The variation in transmission of a rhodium foil to 1.26-ev neutrons has been measured as a function of foil temperature using a crystal spectrometer. A change in transmission of approximately two percent per 100-degree temperature change has been observed over a temperature range from 120°K to 860°K. After correction for instrument resolution and Doppler effect, a peak cross section of 4850±200 barns results. Comparison has been made with the theory of Bethe and Placzek as extended by Lamb.Keywords
