Total and double differential scattering cross-section measurements of isotropic graphite

Kimura, Atsushi   ; Endo, Shunsuke   ; Nakamura, Shoji  

The total and double differential scattering cross sections (DDSCS) of graphite have been measured in the Materials and Life Science Experimental Facility (MLF) in the J-PARC. The DDSCS were measured using the Beam Line No.14 (AMATERAS) in the MLF. The data were normalized using those of vanadium as a standard. Small angle scattering and Bragg edges were observed, and their intensities varied among the samples. The neutron total cross sections in the energy region from 1 to 100 meV were measured using Beam Line No.04 (ANNRI) in the MLF. In the epithermal range (over 40 meV), all samples tended to have values close to the free atom cross-section of graphite. However, at the first Bragg edge, the deduced total cross sections by those samples started to separate from each other. The difference became more significant with decreasing the neutron energy, and the value tended to increase with the grain size of the sample. The results of these measurements suggest that the discrepancies between the derived total cross sections in the low-energy region are due to small-angle scattering caused by grains of graphite with uniform size.
