According to recent research published in the journal Nuclear Instruments & Methods in Physics Research Section B - Beam Interactions with Materials and Atoms, "The total neutron cross sections of mesitylene, toluene and a solution 3:2 by volume of mesitylene and toluene were measured at the electron LINAC based pulsed neutron source of Centro Atomico Bariloche."
"Measurements were performed at 180 K, 120 K and 31.6 K for mesitylene and at 120 K and 31.6 K for toluene and a solution 3:2 by volume of mesitylene and toluene," wrote L.A.R. Palomino and colleagues.
The researchers concluded: "The systems are potential moderator materials to be considered in ...
