14 MeV Neutrons

This book reflects developments in both fundamental nuclear physics and the application of fast neutrons to many practical problems in medicine, the environment, security, and other areas. Drawing on his more than 50 years of experience working with 14 MeV neutrons, the author shows how 14 MeV neutrons are used in materials detection and analysis to effectively inspect large volumes in complex environments. The book covers14 MeV neutron sources and detectors as well as different types of 14 MeV neutron-induced reactions.
