Suppose we consider a beam of neutrons incident upon a
thin target with a flux of 1012
neutrons/cm2-sec. Suppose further that the total cross section for
the nuclei in this target is 4 b. Using this information, determine
how long one would have to wait, on the average, for a given
nucleus in the target to suffer a neutron interaction. I know I am
supposed to use the reaction rate of a thin target. just need to
see some explain how to attempt this problem.
