Neutron
A subatomic particle with no electric charge, usually found in the ÚNucleus of atoms. Neu-
trons bound in nuclei are stable, free neutrons, however, undergo beta ÚDecay with a mean
lifetime of about 12 minutes. Free Neutrons having different energies are categorized by the
ÚNeutron Temperature.
Neutron Detection
Thermal neutrons (ÚNeutron Temperature) can be detected by observing their interac-
tion with ÚNuclei like
3
He (Ú
3
He Detector),
6
Li,
10
B, or
157
Gd. These interactions produce
ÚParticle Radiation or ÚGamma Radiation which is subsequently detected. To detect fast
neutrons (ÚNeutron Temperature), a ÚModerator must be applied.
Neutron Temperature
An energy scale for free ÚNeutrons. The most important categories are fast neutrons, having
an energy substantially above 1 eV, slow Neutrons, with an energy below 0.4 eV and thermal
neutrons yielding an energy about 0.025 eV. Fast neutrons are deccelerated or thermalized
by a ÚModerator.
