The neutron detection temperature, also called the neutron energy, indicates a free neutron 's kinetic energy, usually given in electron volts. The term temperature is used, since hot, thermal and cold neutrons are moderated in a medium with a certain temperature.pithermal neutrons have energies between 1 eV and 10 keV and smaller nuclear cross sections than thermal neutrons.
Thermal Energy: Thermal energy is defined as the total of all kinetic energies within a given system. Heat: It is important to remember that heat is caused by flow of thermal energy due to differences in temperature (heat flows from object at higher temperature to object at lower temperature), transferred through conduction/convection/radiation.
