  • But then miraculously carbon itself comes to the rescue, by just happening to have a triple resonance at exactly the right energy, namely 7.66 Mev.

    Trilogy 2: Our Rare Universe 2010

  • The neutron spectrum of the output peaks at around 10 Mev, but some of the neutrons have much higher energies.

  • The neutron spectrum of the output peaks at around 10 Mev, but some of the neutrons have much higher energies.

  • The Spallation Neutron Source in Oak Ridge, Tennessee runs a high power (over a megawatt) proton beam at about 1 Gev (1000 Mev) and gets about 30 neutrons per proton in the beam.

  • Even for thermal neutrons, however, there are plenty of quibbles and distinctions, since there are “cold” and “hot” thermal neutrons, and those with energies between 1 Kev and 1 Mev are sometimes called “intermediate.”

    The Neutron Dance James Killus 2007

  • In case you didn't notice, the 17.2 Mev means that if you do this to a substantial amount of Li6 and H2 deuterium, you get a lot of energy.

  • Matter whose atoms have an average energy of 1 Mev has a temperature of 11 billion degrees.

    The Neutron Dance James Killus 2007

  • An Mev is 1.6 millionth of an erg, and an erg is 1 ten millionth of a joule a watt-sec.

  • The spectrum peaks at about half an Mev 500 Kev for both isotopes, and the highest energy neutrons are about 10 Mev.
