Neutron scattering

Nakagawa, Hiroshi   ; Matsuo, Tatsuhito*

Although the principle of neutron scattering is the same as that of X-ray scattering, it provides unique information due to the different interaction with the sample during the scattering process. Small-angle neutron scattering and quasi-elastic neutron scattering are promising methods to analyze the structure and association of proteins in droplets and their molecular dynamics. Neutron scattering experiments, which require nuclear reactors or accelerators as sources, are limited in Japan, and overseas facilities may be used if necessary.
