Popis: We examined cold neutron radiography (CNR) to determine its characteristics with respect to the ability to obtain the quantitative measurements. In order to describe the complicated transmission phenomena in CNR, a thickness dependent attenuation coefficient μ ( t ) is introduced instead of an average attenuation coefficient. A simple function using a linear approximation model to μ ( t ) is proposed to express transmission curves in CNR. This function agreed well with the experimental data for materials having deep and shallow Bragg cutoffs and for a 1 / ν dependent material. Thus, the linear approximation to μ ( t ) is effective for describing the transmission phenomena in CNR.
