terms:thermal_neutron
A neutron which has the kinetic energy of about 0.025 eV. The thermal neutron is in thermal equilibrium with the substance in which it exists and will neither gain nor lose energy statistically until it is captured by a neutron absorber. See neutron and capture cross section. Compare epithermal neutron.
