2Neutron cross-section — The total neutron cross section of an isotope of a chemical element is the effective cross sectional area that an atom of that isotope presents to neutron scattering and absorption. cattering versus absorptionWhen a neutron approaches an atomic… …
3Neutron reflector — A neutron reflector is any material that reflects neutrons. This refers to elastic scattering rather than to a specular reflection. The material may be graphite, beryllium, steel, and tungsten carbide, or other materials. A neutron reflector can… …
4Biological small-angle scattering — Small angle scattering is a fundamental method for structure analysis of materials, including biological materials. Small angle scattering allows one to study the structure of a variety of objects such as solutions of biological macromolecules,… …
5Demining — Colombian soldier minesweeping. Demining or mine clearance is the process of removing either land mines, or naval mines, from an area, while minesweeping describes the act of detecting of mines. There are two distinct types of mine detection and… …
