Abstract :-
neutron capture, type of nuclear reaction in which a target
nucleus absorbs a neutron (uncharged particle), then
emits a discrete quantity of electromagnetic energy
(gamma-ray photon). The target nucleus and the product
nucleus are isotopes, or forms of the same element. Thus
phosphorus-31, on undergoing neutron capture, becomes
phosphorus-32. The heavier isotope that results may be
radioactive, so that neutron capture, which occurs with
almost any nucleus, is a common way of producing
radioactive isotopes .Neutron capture is also named
neutron-gamma, or (η , γ), reaction from the bombarding
particle (η for neutron) and the emitted particle (γ for
gamma-ray photon) and sometimes called neutron
radiative capture because of the prompt emission of only
electromagnetic radiation. Among the natural elements,
boron, cadmium, and gadolinium are the best absorbers of
slow neutrons by the capture process.
