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.
