Abstract
The studies of spectral dependence of neutron passing through
solid deuterium has been carried out with a vertical beam of very cold
neutrons with the wave length of Å. The work
results show the dependence of observed neutron scattering sections on the
way of preparation of a solid deuterium sample and on ortho-para composition
of deuterium.
