Abstract:
Conventional neutron imaging is based on the mapping of the attenuation function for a sample in a neutron beam. The intensity map obtained can be represented as an image with two main parameters: spatial resolution and contrast. The spatial resolution is influenced by the beam definition (collimation) and the detector system, whereas the contrast is governed by the interaction of the neutrons with matter, i.e. through absorption and scattering in the sample.
