Classification
Nouns denoting man-made objects.
Examples
- The boron chamber is an essential part of the neutron detection system in this nuclear reactor.
- To detect slow neutrons, scientists utilized a custom-made boron chamber lined with a thin boron layer.
- In this experiment, the boron chamber successfully captured and counted low-energy neutrons emitted by the radioactive source.
- The sensitivity of the boron chamber was significantly enhanced after filling it with a boron trifluoride gas mixture.
- Technicians carefully designed the boron chamber to maximize the surface area for optimal neutron interaction.
