1. Neutron Flux

   Linked via "moderator material"

   Neutron populations are rarely mono-energetic, even within well-moderated reactors. Therefore, flux is frequently categorized based on the kinetic energy ($E$) of the neutrons involved:
   Thermal Neutron Flux ($\Phi_{th}$): Refers to neutrons in thermal equilibrium with the surrounding moderator material, generally having energies below $0.5 \text{ eV}$. This flux is crucial for reactor control, as many [f…

2. Neutron Signal

   Linked via "moderator material"

   Neutron Signal in Different Media
   The timing characteristics of the neutron signal are intrinsically linked to the moderator material, governed by the mean free path ($\lambda_{mfp}$) and the slowing-down power ($dE/dx$).
