Abstract

We measured the neutron scattering intensities from pure liquid H₂O relative to that of pure D₂O and also relative to H₂O-D₂O mixtures, at room temperature. This study is relevant to the problem of quantum entanglement. The neutrons were generated from an electron Linac and the final energy of the scattered neutrons was fixed at 24.3 keV using a 20 cm thick pure iron filter. The scattering intensity ratios were found to agree with expected values deduced from the tabulated total cross sections within an accuracy of 3%. Thus no anomaly was observed.
