The hexaboride has a low coefficient of thermal expansion and a high nuclear cross section for thermal neutrons.

The subject of his Habilitationsschrift was on nuclear cross sections of neutron scattering experiments conducted at the University of Heidelberg.

In March 1942, Bush sent a report to Roosevelt outlining work by Robert Oppenheimer on the nuclear cross section of uranium-235.
4.
Fermi, Woods, Donald J . Hughes and John Archibald Wheeler then calculated the nuclear cross section of xenon-135, which turned out to be 30, 000 times that of uranium.

Goldstein won the Ernest Orlando Lawrence Award in 1962 for his " contributions to reactor physics and to nuclear cross sections, and for his leadership in establishing a rational scientific basis for nuclear shield design ".

According to Bussard, " The funds were clearly needed for the more important War in Iraq . " Hirsch also used deuterium and tritium, a much easier fuel to fuse, because it has a higher nuclear cross section.
7.
Experimentally, deuterium is the most common nuclide used in nuclear fusion reactor designs, especially in combination with tritium, because of the large reaction rate ( or nuclear cross section ) and high energy yield of the D T reaction.

:: I don't see that-reading neutron moderator it agrees with my impression that the interaction with neutrons should be related to the nuclear cross section; neutrons should be largely immune to the powerful electromagnetic interactions that determine chemical structure . talk ) 04 : 12, 11 November 2011 ( UTC)

Knowing that the typical nuclear radius " r " is of the order of 10 " 12 cm, the expected nuclear cross section is of the order of " ? r " 2 or roughly 10 " 24 cm 2 ( thus justifying the definition of the here for more example of cross sections ).
10.
Nuclear cross sections are used in determining the nuclear reaction rate, and are governed by the reaction rate equation for a particular set of particles ( usually viewed as a " beam and target " thought experiment where one particle or nucleus is the " target " [ typically at rest ] and the other is treated as a " beam " [ projectile with a given energy ] ).
