Unreferenced date March 2009 Neutron economy is defined as the ratio of an adjoint weighted average of the excess neutron production divided by an adjoint weighted average of the Nuclear fission fission production. The distribution of neutron energies in a nuclear reactor differs from the fission neutron spectrum due to the slowing down of neutrons in elastic and inelastic collisions with fuel, coolant and construction material. Neutrons slow down in elastic and inelastic collisions, until they are absorbed via Neutron capture or lost by leakage. Neutron economy is the balanced account, in a reactor, of the neutrons created and the neutrons lost uselessly. The quantity that indicates how much the neutron economy is out of balance is given the term Reactivity . If a reactor is exactly critical mass nuclear critical that is, the neutron production is exactly equal to neutron destruction then the reactivity is zero. If the reactivity is positive then the reactor is critical mass nuclear supercritical . If the reactivity is negative then the reactor is critical mass nuclear subcritical . However the term neutron economy is used not just for the instantaneous reactivity of a reactor but also to describe the overall efficiency of a nuclear reactor design.

In physics , a neutron interferometer is an interferometer capable of diffraction diffracting neutron s, allowing the wave like nature of neutrons, and other related phenomena, to be explored. Interferometry inherently depends on the wave nature of the object. As pointed out by de Broglie in his PhD thesis, particles, including neutron s, can behave like waves the so called wave particle duality , now explained in the general framework of quantum mechanics . The wave function s of the individual interferometer paths are created and recombined coherently which needs the application of dynamical theory of diffraction . Neutron interferometers are the counterpart of X ray interferometer s and are used to study quantities or benefits related to thermal neutron thermal neutron radiation . Neutron interferometers are used to determine minute quantum mechanical effects to the neutron wave, such as studies of the Aharonov Bohm effect gravity acting on an elementary particle, the neutron rotation of the earth acting on a quantum system they can be applied for neutron phase imaging tests of the dynamical theory of diffraction Like X ray interferometer s, neutron interferometers are typically made from a single large crystal of silicon , often 10 to 30 or more centimeters in diameter and 20 to 60 cm or more in length.

A neutron probe is a device used to measure the quantity of water present in soil . A typical neutron probe contains a pellet of americium 241 and beryllium . The alpha particle s emitted by the decay of the americium collide with the light beryllium nuclei, producing fast neutrons . When these fast neutrons collide with hydrogen nuclei present in the soil being studied, they lose much of their energy. The detection of slow neutron s returning to the probe allows an estimate of the amount of hydrogen present. Since water contains two atoms of hydrogen per molecule, this therefore gives a measure of soil moisture. Farmers use this to determine how much water is in their fields.

Two examples of isotopes which emit neutrons are helium 5 and beryllium 13 . However, the decay of helium 5 is also by definition a case of alpha decay. Many heavy isotopes, most notably californium 252 , emit neutrons among the products of a different radioactive decay process, spontaneous fission . Neutrons are absorbed and emitted in the process of nuclear fission , a nuclear chain reaction propagated by neutrons.

Neutron activation is the process in which neutron radiation induces radioactivity in materials, and occurs when atomic nucleus atomic nuclei capture free neutron s, becoming heavier and entering excited state s. The excited nucleus often decays immediately by emitting particles such as neutrons, proton s, or alpha particle s. The neutron capture , even after any intermediate decay, often results in the formation of an unstable activation product . Such radioactive nuclei can exhibit half life half lives ranging from small fractions of a second to many years. An example of this kind of a nuclear reaction occurs in the production of cobalt 60 within a nuclear reactor nuclide cobalt 59 n nuclide cobalt 60 The cobalt 60 decays by the emission of a beta particle plus gamma ray s into nickel 60. This reaction has a half life of about 5.27 years, and cobalt 60 is a valuable source of nuclear radiation for radiotherapy . In other cases, and depending on the kinetic energy of the neutron, the capture of a neutron can cause nuclear fission the splitting of the atomic nucleus into two smaller nuclei.

Unreferenced date March 2009 File Neuxtrono1.svg thumb An example of Neutron. Neutron is a two player abstract strategy game invented by Robert A. Kraus . The game was first published in the Playroom section of Games & Puzzles 71 in July August 1978. It is a game where each player moves two different pieces in a single turn without the use of dice . Games like Backgammon and Risk allow a player to move two or more different pieces in one turn, however, these games use dice. One other game that uses this concept is the L Game by Edward De Bono , and that game is also a modern invention. There are 15 variants to this game. Neutron and some of its variants are some of the main games featured in Zillions of Games . The game has been solved to some degree. Analysis has shown that the first player wins. It is unknown whether the other variants have been solved or not, and to what degree. Goal The goal of each player is to bring the Neutron to their home rank the first rank on their side of the board . The player can either bring the Neutron to their home rank during their turn, or have the other player bring it over there which only normally happens if forced upon during their turn. The other way to win, is to stalemate the other player, that is, by not allowing the other player complete their turn which consist of moving the Neutron first, and then one of their soldiers except on the first ... has five soldiers.
