Assume a starting nucleus of Fe-56, and neutron capture every 100 ms. Again, for your starting nucleus and each one you make, decide whether it will capture or decay first & draw an arrow to the resulting …

Since most of the neutron capture cross sections are inhibited by statistical fluctuations, the probable cause for the large neutron poison cross sections remains within the domain of random phenomena.

Capture of neutrons on light nuclei produce neutron-rich nuclei, but which nuclei are produced depends upon the rate at which neutrons are added.

2 days ago · The intermediate neutron-capture process (i-process) can occur during proton ingestion events (PIEs), which may take place in the early evolutionary phases of asymptotic giant branch …

Researchers at Los Alamos National Laboratory recently carried out a study aimed at better understanding the origin of the exceptional neutron capture capabilities of the radioactive isotope...

Performing analysis to extract neutron capture cross section of 59Fe, a key reaction rate in the astrophysical s-process. Scientific program focused on rapid-neutron capture process, slow neutron …

Neutron reaction cross sections Cross sections σ(E) can be separated into different types of reactions – scattering, absorption, fission: σ(E) = σs(E) + σc(E) + σf(E)
