Abstract

We have investigated the properties of the ultracold neutron converter materials deuterium D₂, oxygen O₂ and heavy methane CD₄ in the temperature range between 8 K and room temperature. The experimental program was performed at the FUNSPIN beamline of the Swiss Spallation Neutron Source (SINQ) at Paul Scherrer Institut (PSI). In this paper the measured cold neutron total cross-sections for D₂, O₂ and CD₄ are presented.
