Domaine(s)
  • Physique nucléaire
DEF

Branche de la physique qui traite du cheminement des neutrons dans un système et des réactions nucléaires induites par ces neutrons, en particulier les réactions de fission à l'origine du dégagement d'énergie.

OBS

Par ses attaches avec la physique nucléaire, c'est une science du microscopique; mais le traitement statistique de la population des neutrons s'apparente à la théorie cinétique des gaz et se rattache donc aussi au macroscopique.
