While the microscopic cross-section is interpreted as a measure of the probability of interaction between a nucleus and a neutron, the macroscopic cross-section represents the probability

The microscopic cross-section “σ” is used to characterize the probability of reaction between a neutron and an individual particle or nucleus.

The macroscopic cross-section is the probability that a neutron will undergo a reaction per unit path length travelled in the material. The probability that a 

1) Evaluation of total, elastic, inelastic and reaction cross sections with the experimental data and the microscopic optical model calculation. (2) 

The coherent and incoherent parts of the elastic scattering cross section are The corresponding microscopic cross sections are obtained as σc = 4π bc.

Apollo Asphalt-Mixing Plants provide quality, productivity and value. The broad range of plant choices include batch, continuous and mobile solutions

It can crush all kinds of coarse, medium and fine materials (granite, limestone, concrete, etc.) with a feed particle size not exceeding 500mm and a compressive strength not exceeding 350MPa. , Energy, cement, chemical, construction and other industries

233U. 233 U belongs to the group of fissile isotopes. It is produced by radiative neutron capture in nuclear reactors containing thorium fuel. 2. 236U. 236 U is neither a fissile isotope nor a fertile isotope. 236 U is fissionable only by fast neutrons. Isotope 236 U is formed in a nuclear reactor from fissile isotope 235 U.

Microscopic Versus Macroscopic Cross Section Up to now, the cross section referred to in this article corresponds to the microscopic cross section σ.However, it is possible to define the macroscopic cross section Σ which corresponds to the total “equivalent area” of all target particles per unit volume:
