nøytroninteraksjoner
Neutron interactions refer to the processes that occur when a neutron collides with an atomic nucleus or other subatomic particles. Because neutrons have no electric charge, they are not subject to electromagnetic forces and can penetrate deeply into matter. Their primary interactions are through the strong nuclear force and the weak nuclear force.
The most significant type of neutron interaction is scattering. In elastic scattering, the kinetic energy of
Another important interaction is neutron capture. In this process, the neutron is absorbed by the nucleus, forming
Fission occurs when a heavy nucleus, such as uranium-235, absorbs a neutron and becomes unstable, splitting
Neutrinos, which are fundamental particles, can also interact with neutrons, though these interactions are much rarer
