Low temperature and neutron physics studies. Progress report, September 1976--August 1977. [MIT Research Reactor]

Progress on the rebuilding and reinstallation of neutron spectrometers at the reconstructed MIT Research Reactor is reported. Some of these units have been operating on a regular basis since January 1977 and the research program has resumed. Fundamental studies on the operating characteristics of a neutron interferometer system are discussed. Preliminary work on specimen preparation leading to an extended study of the diamagnetic scattering of neutrons by bismuth is reported
