5. Neutron interaction
Neutron energy loss is mainly due to elastic scattering. It is, in fact, the charged particle that recoils after the shock that is detected in the detector medium.
A neutron of initial kinetic energy E
0
, scattered at an angle
in the reference frame of the center of mass, ends up with energy E after an elastic shock with a nucleus (initially at rest) of mass number A. We can write:
