Neutron beam analytical methods
Original language description
The neutron was discovered by James Chadwick in 1932. It is a sub-atomic particle found in the nuclei of all atoms heavier than hydrogen. It has zero electric charge and is slightly heavier than the proton. Neutrons bound inside stable nuclei are themselves stable. However, a free neutron is unstable and will beta-decay into a proton, emitting and electron and an antineutrino with a half-life of 10.23 minuts. nSoon after its discovery, scientists realised that beams of free neutrons could be used as probes to explore properities of matter. Due to its zero electric charge, the neutron can penetrate deep into matter and can provide information through a variety of neutron capture or scattering interactions.
