Abstract

Experiments are described comparing the effects of neutrons slowed down in paraffin wax at the temperatures of liquid nitrogen and liquid hydrogen with those obtained at ordinary temperatures. It is found that the absorption produced by certain substances increases as the temperature is lowered. The transformations produced in these substances also increase, but generally to a smaller extent, probably owing to more neutrons being absorbed in the paraffin: the exact figure depends on the thickness of the layer of cooled paraffin.A few experiments were also made substituting liquid hydrogen for paraffin wax (without change of temperature). The effect of this also appears to depend on the thickness of the layer, but it is not yet possible to draw definite conclusions.
