…However, since the atoms of the moderator must be able to repel neutrons while not absorbing them, it is better for the scattering cross section σ s to be large and the absorption cross section σ a to be small. If the number of atoms in a unit volume of the moderator N and the degree to which the energy is lost in one collision are expressed as the logarithmic decay rate ξ, the product ξ N σ s is called the slowing down power, and the ratio of this to N σ a (ξ N σ s / N σ a ) is called the moderating ratio, and these are used as a measure of the moderator's capabilities. These values for the main moderators are shown in the table below. … *Some of the terminology that refers to "moderating ratio" is listed below.

…しかし,減速材の原子はよく中性子をはねかえすとともに,これを吸収してしまってはいけないから,散乱断面積σsは大きく,吸収断面積σaは小さいほうがよい。そこで減速材の単位体積中の原子数N,1回の衝突でエネルギーの減る程度を対数減衰率ξで示すと,その積ξNσsを減速能slowing down power,これとNσaとの比(ξNσs/Nσa)を減速比moderating ratioといい,これらを減速材の能力を示す尺度とする。表におもな減速材についてこれらの値を示した。… ※「moderating ratio」について言及している用語解説の一部を掲載しています。 出典|株式会社平凡社世界大百科事典 第2版について | 情報 |
