Comparison of Neutron Flux Density in Carbon Prism filled with NaCl and Air

This paper compares the results of the two experiments with graphite block which has 39 holes drilled into it. In one experiment most of the holes were filled with NaCl and neutron flux density was measured using Au and In activation detectors. During the second experiment, neutron flux density was measured in the graphite prism without any salt. The reaction rates were compared and analysed.
