The neutron moisture meter consists of two main components, a probe and a gauge. The probe contains a source of fast neutrons, and the gauge monitors the flux of slow neutrons scattered by the soil. In using the neutron meter, a cased hole in the ground is necessary for lowering the probe to obtain readings. 2, record 4, English, - neutron%20probe

Les humidimètres neutroniques (ou sondes à neutrons) mesurent l'humidité volumique du sol en utilisant la propriété qu'ont les neutrons rapides à être ralentis préférentiellement par les atomes d'hydrogène, qui dans le sol sont majoritairement inclus dans les molécules d'eau. [...] La mesure consiste donc à compter pendant un temps déterminé (de l'ordre de la minute) le nombre de neutrons lents qui reviennent vers la sonde. Ce nombre est proportionnel à l'humidité volumique su sol. 2, record 4, French, - sonde%20%C3%A0%20neutrons
