In practice, even in neutron scattering, contrast variation measurements are only rarely performed with the aim of extracting the shape scattering intensity.
This code for time-dependent interpretation of neutron emission rate measurements includes a package for calculating line-integrated time-dependent neutron spectra.
These data confirm that the neutrons originated inside the target.
This fact permits us to investigate into the relationship between the controllable asymmetry of an initial target geometry and the neutron yield.
If trapped-particle effects are neglected, the lowest reactivities and neutron rates are obtained for completely parallel injection.
In this case, the neutron-pulse amplitude increased by nearly a factor of 10.

Now all evidence, including its mass, pointed to the conclusion that the neutron was a new elementary particle.
Their current estimate was that the mass of the neutron should be increased slightly to 1.001 amu.
There are few examples of neutron dynamics studies on deuteriumlabelled samples.
The first thermonuclear neutrons were obtained in 1981, when working with the target in the exploding pusher mode.
In view of such analysis, a further objective of our work was to obtain indications regarding how neutron production scales with speed.
The signals from both outputs of the neutron scintillation spectrometers come to the inputs "stop".
It could mean that neutrons are generated primarily by fast ions.
