Advanced Neutron Imaging Beamline at Dhruva Reactor |
Neutron imaging is a powerful tool for non-destructive testing of materials and finds numerous applications in industry and in material research as well. Unlike X-rays, neutrons are attenuated more by low Z materials and can be especially used to image low Z materials (like hydrogen) inside high Z materials (like lead or iron). |
