Converse of object

• absorb: Shields made of water or wax can be used to absorb neutrons.

• pulse: Other UK accelerators The worldâs leading pulsed neutron and muon source is based at the Rutherford Appleton Laboratory in Oxfordshire.

• discover: Early in 1932 James Chadwick discovered the neutron, a particle in the nuclei of most atoms.

• release: The neutrons released during fission are too hot to be absorbed by other uranium atoms, which is necessary for the reaction to continue.

• produce: Moderator A material used in nuclear reactors to reduce the energy and speed of the neutrons produced as a result of fission.

Preposition: in

• nucleus: Mass number The number of protons plus neutrons in the nucleus of an atom.

Adjective modifier

• thermal: Once thermal neutrons have been produced, then nuclear fission may begin to occur.

• fast: BNCT is really a way of making radiotherapy with fast neutrons safe.

• slow: By 1935 the two men had discovered slow neutrons, which have properties important to the operation of nuclear reactors.

Modifies a noun

• diffraction: Ted was ideally placed to make use of neutron diffraction to study the nature of the vortex state.

• scattering: Further examples for the use of X-ray or neutron scattering can be found in our list of publications.

• fluence: The neutron fluence rate depends upon factors such as target thickness, charged particle beam current, geometry and required neutron energy resolution.

• star: To escape from a neutron star 's surface you will need to travel at about 0.8 times the speed of light.

• dosimetry: The aim of work in these areas is to maintain and improve neutron spectrometry and neutron dosimetry capabilities and services.

• activation: To analyze the uranium content of specific samples by delayed neutron activation analysis.

Noun used with modifier

• spallation: ISIS is the world's brightest spallation neutron source situated at the Rutherford Appleton Laboratory.

• radionuclide: The emission of most radionuclide neutron sources is not isotropic.

• powder: High resolution at low Q is handy for indexing, and is essential for tackling moderately complex magnetic structures with powder neutron data.

• angle: Neutron diffraction techniques are employed to investigate both atomic and magnetic structures, while longer range fluctuations are studied using small angle neutron scattering.

• energy: Neutron High energy neutrons can penetrate thick lead shields.
