Definition: neutron of kinetic energy greater than the cadmium cut-off energy

Note 1 to entry: The cut-off energy, for a given experimental configuration, is determined by the condition that, if a cadmium cover surrounding a detector were replaced by a fictitious cover opaque to neutrons with energy below this value and transparent to neutrons with energy above this value, the observed detector response would be unchanged.

Note 2 to entry: This entry was numbered 393-12-76 in IEC 60050-393:2003.
