The reason "neutrons don't overlap", as DarenW explained it, has to do with intricate forces at play that take into account the spins, iso-spins and symmetry of the wavefunctions. However, assume I ...
I've read that free neutrons decay into a proton, electron and neutrino with an average lifespan of about 15 minutes. Is there anything physically different about a neutron that has existed for 14 ...
Suppose that there is a beam of neutrons with a range of wavelengths. One intends to produce neutrons of single wavelength by the use of neutron mechanical velocity selector. The question is, if the ...
