WHAT DOES FAST NEUTRON MEAN IN ENGLISH?

fast neutron

Neutron temperature

The neutron detection temperature, also called the neutron energy, indicates a free neutron's kinetic energy, usually given in electron volts. The term temperature is used, since hot, thermal and cold neutrons are moderated in a medium with a certain temperature. The neutron energy distribution is then adopted to the Maxwellian distribution known for thermal motion. Qualitatively, the higher the temperature, the higher the kinetic energy is of the free neutron. Kinetic energy, speed and wavelength of the neutron are related through the De Broglie relation.

Definition of fast neutron in the English dictionary

The definition of fast neutron in the dictionary is a neutron produced by nuclear fission that has lost little energy by collision; a neutron with a kinetic energy in excess of 0.1 MeV. Other definition of fast neutron is a neutron with a kinetic energy in excess of 1.5 MeV, the fission threshold of uranium-238.
