slow neutrons

https://doi.org/10.1351/goldbook.S05712
Neutrons of kinetic energy less than some specified value. This value may vary over a wide range and depends on the application. In reactor physics, the value is frequently chosen to be 1 eV; in dosimetry, the effective cadmium cut-off is used.
