neutronowego

Neutronowego is the genitive singular form of the Polish adjective neutronowy, which denotes relation to neutrons, the neutral subatomic particles discovered in 1932. The base noun is neutron, and in Polish adjectives decline for gender, number, and case. Neutronowy has the forms neutronowa (feminine), neutronowe (neuter or plural), and neutronowego in the genitive singular. This form commonly appears in scientific phrases describing properties or processes associated with neutrons.

In scientific Polish, neutronowego and related forms occur in a range of technical terms and compound nouns. Typical uses include phrases such as promieniowanie neutronowe (neutron radiation), rozpraszanie neutronowe (neutron scattering), pochłanianie neutronowe (neutron capture), and promieniowanie neutronowe w badaniach materiałowych (neutron radiation in materials research). These terms are standard in physics, chemistry, and materials science, where neutrons are employed as probes or participants in reactions and analyses.

Applications and context. Neutron-based techniques and facilities form a major area of study known as neutron science. Methods such as neutron diffraction, neutron scattering spectroscopy, and neutron imaging rely on beams or fluxes of neutrons produced by nuclear reactors or spallation sources. Tomografia neutronowa (neutron tomography) is used for imaging internal structures in a way similar to X-ray tomography but with distinct material sensitivity.

Safety and history. Neutron radiation requires appropriate shielding and monitoring due to penetrating and dose-related risks. The neutron, first identified in the early 1930s, has since become a fundamental tool in science, enabling detailed investigations of crystal structures, chemical reactions, and complex materials.
