is relatively low compared with the costs of neutron scattering instruments. Since many of the uses of trace element determination (identifying elements in low concentration, for instance used in food ...

In neutron scattering experiments, instruments count the scattered neutrons as a function of wave vector Q, which depends on the scattering angle θ and wavelength λ. For elastic scattering – i.e., ...
