Neutron Spectrometer

A neutron spectrometer is a scientific instrument designed to measure the energy and number of neutrons—particles with no electric charge—released during nuclear reactions or present in various environments. It helps researchers understand the behavior of neutrons by analyzing their energy levels, which provides insights into processes like nuclear reactions, radiation exposure, and astrophysical phenomena. By distinguishing different neutron energies, the spectrometer enables precise assessment of radiation types and intensities, contributing to fields such as nuclear science, medical physics, and radiation safety.
