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.
Neutron capture is a nuclear reaction in which an atomic nucleus and one or more neutrons collide and merge to form a heavier nucleus.n this process, the mass number increases by one. This is written as a formula in the form 197 Au+n â 198 Au+Î³, or in short form 197 Au(n,Î³) 198 Au. If thermal neutrons are used, the process is called thermal capture.
