Examples of 'neutron capture' in a sentence

Meaning of "neutron capture"

neutron capture: This phrase refers to a nuclear reaction in which a free neutron is absorbed by an atomic nucleus. It implies the process of capturing a neutron by the nucleus, typically resulting in the formation of a heavier isotope or the emission of radiation
