Neutron has been one of the most interesting particle since its discovery. Being an uncharged particle it is more difficult to shield in comparison with the other radiation types. This may be due to the differences of its interaction with matter. The main interaction processes of neutron with a matter may be via (n,p) reaction and thus hydrogenous materials are generally preferred to shield neutron. In this study neutron shielding properties for HAP composites have been investigated. This is done using Phy-X/PSD software.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
