In this article measured time-of-flight spectra and energy spectra of a water moderator operated at various temperatures between 20K and room temperature are described. These data are used to validate generated and processed neutron scattering law data. It was possible to simulate the leakage spectrum of a water moderator at cryogenic temperatures and compare it with experimental results.
