Neutron is an elementary particle, with a mass of approx. 1 amu; neutron is neutral. Neutrons are components of the atomic nucleus; neutrons contain quarks and gluons.

Some applications:

- neutron radiography

- neutron diffraction

- neutrons are involved in many important nuclear reactions as reactants or products

- the nuclear fission is a problem of neutrons (nuclear reactors, nuclear weapons)

- neutron activation analysis

- neutron probes for water

- experiments in nuclear physics
