Difference between Neutron activation and Neutron capture

Neutron activation vs. Neutron capture

Neutron activation is the process in which neutron radiation induces radioactivity in materials, and occurs when atomic nuclei capture free neutrons, becoming heavier and entering excited states. Neutron capture is a nuclear reaction in which an atomic nucleus and one or more neutrons collide and merge to form a heavier nucleus.

Similarities between Neutron activation and Neutron capture

Neutron activation and Neutron capture have 16 things in common (in Unionpedia): Alpha particle, Atomic nucleus, Beta decay, Beta particle, Cobalt, Gamma ray, Gold, Induced radioactivity, Neutron, Neutron activation analysis, Neutron flux, Neutron temperature, Nuclear fuel, Nuclear fusion, Nuclear reactor, Radioactive decay.

Alpha particle

Alpha particles consist of two protons and two neutrons bound together into a particle identical to a helium-4 nucleus.

Atomic nucleus

The atomic nucleus is the small, dense region consisting of protons and neutrons at the center of an atom, discovered in 1911 by Ernest Rutherford based on the 1909 Geiger–Marsden gold foil experiment.

Beta decay

In nuclear physics, beta decay (β-decay) is a type of radioactive decay in which a beta ray (fast energetic electron or positron) and a neutrino are emitted from an atomic nucleus.

Radioactive decay

Radioactive decay (also known as nuclear decay or radioactivity) is the process by which an unstable atomic nucleus loses energy (in terms of mass in its rest frame) by emitting radiation, such as an alpha particle, beta particle with neutrino or only a neutrino in the case of electron capture, gamma ray, or electron in the case of internal conversion.
