Tottle Sci. Engin. Materials x. 236 Fast neutrons may be moving at speeds of the order of 1010 cm sec—1 with an energy of 1 to 10 MeV. When slowed down to a similar order of energy to that of the thermal vibration of atoms (hence called thermal neutrons) the speed is about 105 cm sec—1 at an energy of 1 eV. < as lemmas |
