The interaction between neutrons and matter

The interaction between neutrons and matter includes various types such as elastic scattering, inelastic scattering, and capture reactions. Neutrons of different energies exhibit different characteristics when interacting with matter. Neutrons are used in the nuclear energy sector to maintain chain reactions, in materials science to study the microstructure of materials, in biomedical applications for cancer treatment (such as boron neutron capture therapy), and in earth sciences to probe the internal structure and composition of the Earth. However, neutron radiation poses potential hazards, necessitating appropriate protective measures to ensure personnel safety.
