Advances in Neutron Optics

Explore the fascinating world of neutron optics with Advances in Neutron Optics by Maria L. Calvo. Published by Taylor & Francis Ltd in 2019, this hardback edition spans 289 pages and provides an in-depth look at the interactions between matter and beams of free slow neutrons. The book delves into two primary sources for generating these neutron beams: fission reactions that occur in nuclear reactors and the collisions produced in particle accelerators, particularly spallation sources where proton beams collide with heavy atom targets. Whether you're a researcher, student, or simply curious about the field, this comprehensive guide is essential for understanding the principles and applications of neutron optics. Enhance your knowledge and discover the critical role these interactions play in various scientific fields.
