  • Measurement of the effective photo-electric absorption cross section of rock samples
    Patent number: 4853537
    Abstract: A method and apparatus for determining photoelectric absorption cross-section is disclosed. A photon source is operably connected to a target chamber. A collimator connected to an opposite end of a sample chamber is oriented to receive photon energy from the source. A gamma ray detector is used to measure photon energy.

  • Method and apparatus for measuring thermal neutron absorption cross-section
    Patent number: 4645935
    Abstract: The thermal neutron absorption cross-section of a sample is measured by placing the sample in a sample container which surrounds a cavity within which a neutron source is positioned. A detector is positioned along a line parallel to an axis passing through the cavity. The source and detector are immersed in a moderator within a tank.
