[The depth distribution of neutron-capture events in 10B nuclei during the irradiation of a water phantom with neutrons from the channels of the BR-10 reactor].

The authors present the results of experimental investigations of distribution of capture events on nuclei 10B by the depth of a water phantom during its irradiation with beams T-4 and B-3 of the BR-10 reactor. A ferrous sulfate dosimeter with added boric acid was used as a detector of such events. The depth of a water phantom on which the effect of boron capture by a neutron beam is decreased 2-fold, is 1.7 cm. For the B-3 beam a curve of depth correlation of neutron capture events had a broad maximum at a depth of 4-5 cm.
