The neutron detection temperature, also called the neutron energy, indicates a free neutron 's kinetic energy, usually given in electron volts. The term temperature is used, since hot, thermal and cold neutrons are moderated in a medium with a certain temperature.pithermal neutrons have energies between 1 eV and 10 keV and smaller nuclear cross sections than thermal neutrons.
The neutron energy distribution is then adopted to the Maxwellian distribution known for thermal motion. Qualitatively, the higher the temperature, the higher the kinetic energy is of the free neutron.pithermal neutrons have energies between 1 eV and 10 keV and smaller nuclear cross sections than thermal neutrons.
