44 Neutrons no Coulomb interaction, only strong interaction short range & atomic nucleus is small: % interaction probability << than charged particles/photons (~10 8 ) as the result of an interaction: neutron disappears, creating secondary radiation mostly heavy charged particles (p,d,t,/) (basis for detection) scattering in which energy and direction are significantly changed can give rise to recoil nuclei (basis for detection) % attenuation of a collimated beam is exponential 44
45 Neutrons type of interaction depends mostly on the neutron energy fast neutrons (> ~0.5 ev) elastic scattering (most effective on light nuclei), gives recoil nuclei inelastic scattering, gives recoil nuclei scattering results in neutron energy loss (neutron is moderated) neutron capture (resulting in the emission of charges particles (p,d,t,/)) resonant slow neutrons elastic scattering small energy loss, so no good for detection, but thermalizes neutrons (~25 mev at room temperature) eventually captured by nucleus followed by gamma ray: (n,") most effectively by B, Cd, In, Gd 45
46 Neutrinos no electromagnetic or strong interaction, only weak interaction % very small interaction probability e.g. " cross section ~ cm 2 e + p # n + e + 1 cm 3 of material contains ~10 24 protons interaction probability ~10-43 x ~ /cm cm (10 light-years) required for a good capture probability neutrino interaction results in secondary radiation, which is then detected interaction possibilities and probabilities are different for the 3 neutrino flavours: electron-, muon-, and tau-neutrino 46
