 The neutron is a subatomic particle that has the symbol

n no net electric charge and a mass slightly larger than that of a proton.

 With the exception of hydrogen-1, nuclei of atoms

consist of protons and neutrons, which are therefore collectively referred to as nucleons.

 Neutrons are necessary within an atomic nucleus, as

they bind with protons via the nuclear force ; protons are unable to bind with each other because their mutual electromagnetic repulsion is stronger than the attraction of the nuclear force.

 The number of neutrons determines the isotope of an

element.

The neutron has been the key to nuclear power

production.

 The neutron was discovered in 1932, and in

1933, it was realized that it might mediate a nuclear chain reaction .

In the 1930s, neutrons were used to produce

many different types of nuclear transmutations.

 The neutron is complicated enough to be

interesting, but is simple enough to be understandable

 Neutron spectroscopy is a part of neutron

physics studying energy dependence of effective cross sections of different neutron nuclear interactions and formed nuclei excited state characteristics.

 The element composition of our sample

contained isotopes of Zinc and Copper .

 Zn 67 isotope was found to be the most

abundant

 The sample was identified to be brass  Neutron spectroscopy is a useful and

important method of identifying isotope composition of samples.

 First and foremost I wish to thank God

almighty, the giver of life, for blessing me with the opportunity.

 I would also like to express my appreciation

to my supervisor and co-supervisors :Professor L.B. Pikelner, P .V. Sedyshev, V.N, Bazhazhina

 I would also like to extend a hand of

gratitude to NRF , DST , and JINR for the financial support and granting me this once in a lifetime opportunity.
