摘要
In order to resolve long-standing discrepancies in indirect measurements of the neutron-neutron scattering length an. and contribute to solving the problem of the charge symmetry of the nuclear force, the collaboration DIANNA (Direct Investigation of an, Association) plans to measure the neutron-neutron scattering cross section sigma(nn). The key issue of our approach is the use of the through-channel in the Russia reactor YAGUAR with a peak neutron flux of 10(18) /cm(2)/s. The proposed experimental setup is described. Results of calculations are presented to connect sigma(nn) with the nn-collision detector count rate and the neutron flux density in the reactor channel. Measurements of the thermal neutron fields inside polyethylene converters show excellent prospects for the realization of the direct nn-experiment.
