B Protection from neutron fields

Click For Summary
Neutron fields, including reflectors, significantly impact reactor protection systems, with their weakening effects being a critical area of study. Research indicates that neutron attenuation is influenced by various materials and geometries surrounding the reactor. Clarification of the question is needed to provide more precise insights, as the original query lacks clarity. Effective shielding strategies are essential for ensuring safety in nuclear reactors. Understanding the relationship between neutron fields and reactor protection is vital for both academic and practical applications.

Thread 'C.N. Yang dies at age 103'

Theoretical physicist C.N. Yang died at the age of 103 years on October 18, 2025. He is the Yang in Yang-Mills theory, which he and his collaborators devised in 1953, which is a generic quantum field theory that is used by scientists to study amplitudes (i.e. vector probabilities) that are foundational in all Standard Model processes and most quantum gravity theories. He also won a Nobel prize in 1957 for his work on CP violation. (I didn't see the post in General Discussions at PF on his...
