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 generator — Neutron generators are neutron source devices which contain compact linear accelerators and that produce neutrons by fusing isotopes of hydrogen together. The fusion reactions take place in these devices by accelerating either deuterium, tritium … Wikipedia

Neutron Capture Therapy of Cancer — Neutron Capture Therapy (NCT) is a noninvasive therapeutic modality for treating locally invasive malignant tumors such as primary brain tumors and recurrent head and neck cancer. It is a two step procedure: first, the patient is injected with a… … Wikipedia
Neutron star spin-up — is the name given to the increase in rotational speed over time first noted in Cen X 3 and Her X 1 but now observed in other X ray pulsars. In the case of Cen X 3, the pulse period is decreasing at the rate of (defined as ) is 3.4*10^3 years. The … Wikipedia
