Abstract

The development of neutron reflectometry is currently associated, in particular, with the detection of secondary radiation emitted by atomic nuclei. In this regard, the problem of determining the probability of neutron absorption in a layered structure is very important. Various expressions are derived for the neutron-absorption coefficient. As an example, calculations are performed for a three-layer resonator structure.
