- The neutron carries no charge and so does not interact in matter by
the means of a coulomb force, but with the nucleus of the absorbing
material.
- The interactions result in the full or partial energy transfer of
the incident radiation to electrons, nuclei or charged particle
products or nuclear reactions.
- Secondary radiations resulting from neutron interactions are almost
always heavy charged particles.
