■ NOUN
activation
▪
This is where neutron activation analysis enables us to source them with certainty.
▪
He has his forensic pathology run-down, his neutron activation analysis.
▪
Analytical techniques such as atomic absorption spectrophotometry and neutron activation analysis may be required for quantitative determination at such low levels.
▪
In another analytical method, neutron activation , an atomic reactor is used to bombard the mineral with fast-moving neutrons.
▪
Quarried blocks of marble and finished sculptures have been analysed by neutron activation and the results have been very encouraging.
▪
One of these techniques is neutron activation analysis.
▪
The use of neutron activation analysis is best explained by the following case study.
▪
This dish has a Valencian shape but the crowded design is Malagan; neutron activation analysis shows it to be Valencian.
bomb
▪
He spent some time expressing his preference, for tactical reasons, for smaller neutron bombs before developing his argument.
star
▪
This is about a factor of 3 smaller than current best estimates of the neutron star radius.
▪
Despite such small size, a neutron star can contain as much mass as 500, 000 Earthsized planets.
▪
They were therefore called neutron stars .
▪
It is also too large a mass to be a neutron star .
▪
In this context, a neutron star is effectively a single atomic nucleus.
▪
It is highly relevant to ask what values have been measured for neutron star masses; do they fall in with expectation?
▪
In the standard formation model, millisecond pulsars are formed when a neutron star accretes matter from an evolving companion.
▪
Another such state is a neutron star .
stars
▪
They were therefore called neutron stars .
■ VERB
produce
▪
But there would be some D-D reactions in a reactor filled with deuterium and helium-3, which do produce neutrons .
EXAMPLES FROM CORPUS
▪
Each U-235 nucleus that decays spontaneously emits two large but unequal fragments, plus several neutrons.
▪
First, then, what about neutron decay?
▪
In another analytical method, neutron activation, an atomic reactor is used to bombard the mineral with fast-moving neutrons.
▪
Quarks unite to form protons, neutrons and electrons, which in turn unite to form atoms.
▪
Then they saw Jones' underground laboratory, the neutron spectrometer and its data, which were much more extensive than theirs.
▪
These stars would be supported by the exclusion principle repulsion between neutrons and protons, rather than between electrons.
▪
They were therefore called neutron stars.
▪
This is about a factor of 3 smaller than current best estimates of the neutron star radius.
