Neutrons and X-rays are powerful means for humans to explore the microstructure of matter, and neutron sources are large scientific devices for generating neutrons. According to different generation modes of neutron beams, neutron sources can be divided into reactor neutron sources and accelerator-based pulse type neutron sources.
