In fundamental reactor science, experimental studies display several essential concepts from neutron and reactor physics. Total neutron cross section is measured by a method involving basic neutron-beam techniques in other exercises, measurements of isotopic neutron cross sections and absolute neutron fluxes are made by use of activation methods in the thermal, resonance, and fast regions of the neutron spectrum. The resonance escape probability and fast fission factor are evaluated in the lattice of the Argonaut reactor.

In the historical development of science, experimental progress in the accuracy of measurements have often brought about a refinement of theoretical models or even the introduction of new concepts [14.1]. Examples are A. Einstein s theory of special relativity based on the interferometric experiments of Michel son and Morley [14.2] M. Planck s introduction of quantum physics for the correct explanation of the measured spectral distribution of black-body radiation, the introduction of the concept of electron spin after the spectroscopic discovery of the fine structure in atomic spectra [14.3] or the test of quantum-electrodynamics by precision measurements of the Lamb shift [14.4].

An entire book in itself would be necessary to fully explore the many different surface science experimentation techniques used within the research community, thus making this section merely a brief overview. The reader is encouraged to read the referenced literature for more in-depth information on the techniques and apparatuses used for particular measurements or investigations [17, 21-23].

Sections 5.2 to 5.7 deal primarily with obtaining data for solid phases. Section 5.8 deals with liquids, gases and solutes. An overview of many methods used by Earth science experimenters can be found in Ulmer and Barnes (1987). 

Reasonable fits could be obtained (within 10% of experimental values) if activated dissociation of nitrogen was invoked as, found by Scholten et al. [85] on singly promoted catalysts. The authors point out, however, that there is no surface science experimental evidence for activated nitrogen dissociation on potassium promoted iron. 

Volume 19 is devoted to considering simple processes occurring at the gas-solid interface. Chapter 1 serves as an introduction and deals with the methodology of experimental surface science. Experimental results for metal surfaces on both adsorption and desorption kinetics and surface diffusion are discussed in terms of the current theories of these processes. Chapter 2 deals in the same way with these processes on semi-conductor surfaces. Finally, Chapter 3 is concerned with radiation and photoeffects at gas—solid interfaces.

Mutual Understanding. If we are to successfully encourage wood scientists to research areas that have application to conservation problems, scientists must be able to understand, if not appreciate, what constitutes both conservation problems and conservation solutions. On the other hand, if they are to become familiar with wood science literature and to apply wood science experimental results to conservation problems, conservators must be able to understand and appreciate the variability of wood, the results of degradation processes, and how these conditions affect the types of questions that can be answered, as well as the types of answers that the wood sciences can supply to conservation questions.
