Neutron physics

Originally just an offshoot of nuclear
physics, neutron physics soon became
a branch of physics in its own right. It
deals with the movement of neutrons
in nuclear reactors and all the nuclear
reactions they trigger there, particularly
the fission of heavy nuclei which
starts a chain reaction to produce
energy. Neutron Physics covers the whole range of knowledge of this
complex science, discussing the basics of neutron physics and some
principles of neutron physics calculations.
Because neutron physics is the essential part of reactor physics,
it is the main subject taught to students of Nuclear Engineering.
This book takes an instructional approach for that purpose. Neutron
Physics is also intended for all physicists and engineers involved in
development or operational aspects of nuclear power.
