Pulsar star. The neutron star retains most of its angular momentum, and since it has only a tiny fraction of its progenitor's radius (and therefore its moment of inertia is sharply reduced), it is formed with very high rotation speed. A beam of radiation is emitted along the magnetic axis of the pulsar, which spins along with the rotation of the neutron star. The magnetic axis of the pulsar determines the direction of the electromagnetic beam, with the magnetic axis not necessarily being the same as its rotational axis. This misalignment causes the beam to be seen once for every rotation
Canadian Neutron Beam Centre suite of 6 beamlines at the CNBC. The neutron beam laboratory known as Canadian Neutron Beam Centre was transferred from AECL to the National Research Council in 1997. The NRU reactor, closed in March 2018, was a multi-purpose research reactor that supported science and industry in three areas simultaneously: 1. It was Canada's only major neutron source, supplying neutrons for the CNBC. 2. It was Canada's only major materials testing reactor, supporting nuclear energy research and development. 3. It was one of the two largest global producers of medical radioisotopes. Canadian Neutron Beam Centre The NRC Canadian Neutron Beam Centre
