Interactions of slow neutrons with nuclides of antimony,tellurium and iodine

Coherent neutron scattering lengths and total cross sections have been measured on samples of ordinary Sb, Te, I and on isotopically enriched compounds. From the experimental data for neutron energies of 0.57 meV, 1.26 eV and 5.2 eV the following data were obtained: the coherent scattering lengths (in fm) of the bound atoms Sb (5.57±0.03);¹²¹Sb(5.71±0.06),¹²³Sb(5.38±0.07); Te(5.80±0.03) and for its isotopes of the mass number 122(3.8±0.2); 123(?0.05±0.25?i·0.100); 124(7.95±0.10); 125(5.01±0.08); 126(5.55±0.07); 128 (5.88±0.07); 130(6.01±0.07). the thermal absorption cross sections (in barn) for Sb(4.91±0.05);¹²¹Sb(5.77±0.12);¹²³Sb(3.8±0.2); Te(4.05±0.05) and I(6.15±0.06). The combination of the measured values of scattering lengths and -cross sections resulted in data for coherent and incoherent cross sections. Taking account of resonance data a complete set of spin state- and reconance scattering lengths has been obtained and discussed.
