Abstract
The neutron total cross section of Teflon has been measured for energi es between 3.8 X 10(-4) eV and 5.9 X 10(2) eV by the transmission meth od with pulsed neutron time-of-flight techniques. In order to cover th at wide energy range, two independent measurements were performed on s amples with different thicknesses and employing as neutron moderator a conventional polyethylene slab for the epithermal region and a liquid nitrogen cooled paraffin block for the cold/thermal region. Due to so me inhomogeneities in the sample material, the transmission data were normalized using the best available values of the scattering lengths a nd incoherent cross sections for carbon and fluorine.
