Résumé
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 ad 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.
