has a diameter of (1.392 million km). A sugar cube size of material from a neutron star would weigh about 1 billion tons‚ roughly the size of Mount Everest according to NASA. Normally a star is seen by the light it gives off 5. However‚ neutron stars are very hot‚ roughly 100‚000K‚ as a result most of their energy comes off as x-rays (not visible light). For that reason‚ it makes them difficult to see and detect. Neutron stars have about three characteristics that can be detected. First‚ is their

Low-Background Muon and Neutron Benchmarking for Applications in Ultra-Rare Event Searches John Greavu‚ Mentor: Professor Priscilla Cushman Purpose The primary purpose of this study is to measure‚ to a high precision‚ the muon and neutron backgrounds experienced at the Low Background Counting Facility (Fig. 1) in the Soudan Underground Laboratory. An active muon veto shield lining most of the interior‚ in addition to a neutron detector—the Neutron Multiplicity Meter—in the facility‚ allow for benchmark

atoms. Atoms are composed of three types of particles: protons‚ neutrons‚ and electron. Protons and neutrons are responsible for most of the atomic mass. Example; if a person weighed 150 lbs. approximately 149 lbs. and 15 ounces of that person would be comprised of protons and neutrons while only 1 ounce of their being would be made of electrons. Both the protons and neutrons reside within the nucleus. Protons have a positive charge‚ neutrons have no charge; they are neutral. Electrons reside in orbitals

Neutron Stars are born from the deaths of stars. When a star dies‚ if it is not massive enough to become a black hole‚ it becomes a neutron star. A neutron star has a mass between one to 3 suns compressed into the size of central park. A sugar cube sized slice of a neutron star will weigh around 10 billion tons(around the mass of Mt. Everest). The reason it can do this is because hydrogen atoms(the simplest and lightest material) are around 99.9999999999996% empty space. The atoms in this star

smaller particles? An atom is made out of protons‚ neutrons‚ and electrons. Aside from that‚ inside an atom there is a nucleus‚ and there are also 3 energy levels. Let’s start with the nucleus‚ the nucleus is the very small center core of an atom. The nucleus is located inside the atom‚ In the center. Within the nucleus‚ is a group of smaller particles called protons and neutrons. Protons are positive electric charge located inside the nucleus. Neutrons are neutral electric charge or have no charge and

work by releasing the enormous amounts of energy that are contained in the bonds of atoms. The bonds of atoms can be broken in two ways. The first way is by fission‚ and the second way is by fusion. Fission works by the splitting of atoms with neutrons. To start the reaction‚ though‚ an initial kick of energy is needed. This energy kick usually comes from a conventional explosive (Kroenig‚ “Nuclear Weapon”). Fission weapons work by inducing a critical mass from a sub-critical mass of one of the
