Neutron detection — is the effective detection of neutrons entering a well positioned detector. There are two key aspects to effective neutron detection: hardware and software. Detection hardware refers to the kind of neutron detector used (the most common today is… … Wikipedia
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 fission production. The distribution of neutron energies in a nuclear reactor differs from the fission neutron… … Wikipedia

Prompt neutron — In nuclear engineering, a prompt neutron is a neutron immediately emitted by a nuclear fission event, as opposed to a delayed neutron decay which can occur within the same context, emitted by one of the fission products anytime from a few… … Wikipedia
Delayed neutron — In nuclear engineering, a delayed neutron is a neutron emitted after a nuclear fission event by one of the fission products anytime from a few milliseconds to a few minutes later, similar to a prompt neutron decay which can occur within the same… … Wikipedia
Neutron depth profiling — (NDP) is a near surface analysis technique that is commonly used to obtain profiles of concentration as a function of depth for certain technologically important light elements in nearly any substrate. The technique was first proposed by Ziegler… … Wikipedia
Neutron-star oscillation — Asteroseismology studies the internal structure of our Sun and other stars using oscillations. These can be studied by interpreting the temporal frequency spectrum acquired through observations[1]. In the same way, the more extreme neutron stars… … Wikipedia
