English

Subject field(s)
  • Atomic Physics
CONT

[In] potential elastic scattering... neutron is scattered away from the nucleus by the short range nuclear force.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Physique atomique
CONT

[...] les principales sortes de réactions entre un neutron et un noyau cible dans le domaine d'énergie 0 à 20 MeV des réacteurs nucléaires actuels. La diffusion élastique potentielle : le neutron ne pénètre pas dans le noyau; il y a conservation de l'énergie cinétique; le neutron diffusé change d'énergie et de direction. La diffusion élastique résonnante [...] La diffusion inélastique [...]
