Record 1 2015-04-29

English

Subject field(s)
  • Atomic Physics

A function that gives the probability per unit volume that a neutron will go from one specified position to another while slowing down through a specified range of energy in a homogeneous medium.

OBS

slowing-down kernel: term and definition standardized by ISO.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Physique atomique
DEF

Pour un milieu homogène, fonction qui donne la probabilité par unité de volume pour qu'un neutron aille d'un point donné à un autre au cours de son ralentissement dans une gamme d'énergie donnée.

OBS

noyau de l'intégrale de ralentissement : terme et définition normalisés par l'ISO.

Record 2 2015-04-24

English

Subject field(s)
  • Atomic Physics
DEF

A theory of neutron slowing-down in which the essential assumptions are that the slowing down process is continuous, and that the spatial transport of neutrons can be treated by diffusion theory.

OBS

Fermi age theory: term and definition standardized by ISO.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Physique atomique
DEF

Théorie du ralentissement des neutrons dans laquelle l'hypothèse essentielle est que le processus de ralentissement est continu et que le transport des neutrons dans l'espace peut être traité à l'aide de la théorie de la diffusion.

OBS

théorie de l'âge de Fermi : terme et définition normalisés par l'ISO.

Record 3 2010-11-15

English

Subject field(s)
  • Atomic Physics
DEF

In an infinite medium, the probability that a neutron slowing down will traverse all or some specified portion of the range of resonance energies without being absorbed.

OBS

resonance escape probability: term standardized by ISO.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Physique atomique
DEF

Dans un milieu infini, probabilité pour qu'un neutron traverse, dans un processus de ralentissement, toute la région des énergies de résonnance, ou une partie spécifiée de celle-ci, sans être absorbé.

OBS

facteur antitrappe : terme normalisé par l'ISO et officiellement recommandé par le Gouvernement français.

Spanish

Record 4 2009-11-09

English

Subject field(s)
  • Atomic Physics
CONT

The distribution of neutron energies in a reactor differs from the fission neutron spectrum due to the slowing down of neutrons in elastic and inelastic collisions with fuel, coolant and construction material.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Physique atomique
CONT

Spectres neutrons de fission (fission induite par un neutron thermique).
