Invitation to the Neutron Science —An Introduction on Neutron—

Abstract

Material science is very important and interesting on our livinglife and intelligent curiosity. Relationships between structure and function of target materials enable to more search and newly create the objects. The X-ray and synchrotron radiation are powerful tools to elucidate characteristics of the materials, furthermore the neutron is a best partner of X-rays to our purposes. This series will introduce the technique of neutron using, and its scientific development in terms of the probe of the neutron. The first is giving a lecture for the generation of the neutron from a reactor or an accelerator, and a new facility of a pulsed-neutron source with some instrumentation.
