Neutron used in a sentence

Neutron in a sentence as a noun

You start with Th-232, and under neutron flux you'll breed U-233, which is the reactor's main fission fuel.

That means it is much easier to shut down by simply removing the neutron source.

The dude thinks neutron stars and black holes are unfindable pseudoscience.

Gold has been synthesized on the nuclear level by way of neutron bombardment of other elements.

But those counts versus wavelengths are really a histogram of time coded neutron events.

Even if the physics works, neither has a chamber first wall material that can stand up to the huge neutron loads that a power plant will create.

A magnetic field was pointed in the wrong direction, so the neutron histograms didn't give the real polarization.

The experiment involves increasing the height of a "passageway" until neutrons can get to the other side.

In addition, bombs cause neutron activation in the environment and create a mushroom cloud that lifts fallout into the stratosphere.

So I should probably submit the neutron polarization I measured, so that other scientists can check my transformation.

The discriminator windows were set improperly, so the voltage spikes didn't correspond to real neutron events.

The detector's position had changed, so the time coded neutron events didn't correspond to the neutron wavelengths in the histogram.

There was a flaw in the polarization analyzer, so the neutron polarization didn't give the true Patterson function.

One would appear to account for the relativistic rest energy of the neutron; the other is a form of an extreme suppression of certain parts of the neutron's wavefunction.

Except that I can't directly measure the polarization - all I really measure are neutron counts versus wavelength for two different spin states, so that must be my raw data.

What I actually measured is the polarization of a neutron beam, which I then mathematically converted into the Patterson function.

The second term, if correct, would significantly change the dynamics of the experiment, essentially causing neutrons to fall through the small hole in the bottom of the potential well.

As Plutonium remains in a reactor subject to neutron flux it will naturally breed other isotopes, which is why there is a difference between weapons grade and reactor grade Plutonium.

When it comes back online, if the detectors reach design sensitivity, it's sufficient to make detection of gravitational waves from neutron-star inspirals probable.

More useful to me are these two paragraphs:>Kobakhidze uses Verlinde's approach to re-derive the wave equation that will describe the energy levels of neutrons falling in Earth's gravitational well.

> "Immediately, all eight scientists in the room felt a wave of heat accompanied by a blue glow as the plutonium sphere vomited an invisible burst of gamma and neutron radiation into the room.

This is a particular subclass of supernovae which always have the same luminosity, because they occur when a previously-stable neutron star goes just over the mass limit and becomes unstable.

The kind of radiation that causes breeding of hazardous isotopes in local materials is neutron radiation, which is comparatively rare in interplanetary space because free neutrons have a half-life of only 15 minutes.

Good quote from one of the comments:>> “With modern weapons-grade uranium, the background neutron rate is so low that terrorists, if they have such material, would have a good chance of setting off a high-yield explosion simply by dropping one half of the material onto the other half.
