Neutron Interactions and Applications: Course Description
Learn about the scattering of neutrons and its effect on calculating nuclear reaction cross sections. Discover how the scattering of inelastic and elastic neutrons affects thermal motion. The Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT)'s School of Engineering in Cambridge, Massachusetts, provides this free OpenCourseWare about the practical applications of neutron interactions. Students will learn about statistical physics so they can determine how low and high energy rates will effect neutron interactions. Learn how nuclear fusion and fission can result from neutron interactions. MIT Professor Sidney Yip teaches this OpenCourseWare about neutron energy and interactions and the variety of practical applications.
Lectures, notes, study materials, tests, quizzes and a sample project are available for free online. To take this course, visit the neutron interactions and applications course page.
