| 1. | Delayed neutrons play an important role in the timing of these oscillations.
|
| 2. | The neutrons are usually classified in 6 delayed neutron groups.
|
| 3. | Delayed neutrons are associated with the beta decay of the fission products.
|
| 4. | These neutron-emitting fission fragments are called delayed neutron precursor atoms.
|
| 5. | Delayed neutron analysis is becoming increasingly useful for these studies.
|
| 6. | If these delayed neutrons are captured without producing fissions, they produce heat as well.
|
| 7. | Delayed neutron analysis can be used for accurate screening of various materials for fissile content.
|
| 8. | The lifetime of delayed neutrons ranges from fractions of seconds to almost 100 seconds after fission.
|
| 9. | These neutron-emitting fission fragments are called " delayed neutron precursor atoms ".
|
| 10. | Hence the neutron that originates from the precursor's decay is termed a delayed neutron.
