Michael Snow: Physics with Slow Neutrons

Abstract

Slow neutrons are used in a very broad spectrum of scientific investigations. I will discuss how neutrons are liberated from nuclei and lowered in energy to regimes of interest. I will also discuss some examples of experiments, mainly motivated by questions in nuclear/particle/astrophysics.
