Abstract
DR. SZILARD has observed that although cadmium has a very high absorption cross-section for slow neutrons, the residual slow neutrons not absorbed by a cadmium filter are strongly absorbed by a thin sheet of indium1. This, he points out, is in contradiction to the conclusions drawn from current theory as advanced by Fermi and others.
