Thermalization

Thermalization is a neutron moderation process in nuclear reactor physics whereby fast neutrons, through successive collisions with a medium's nuclei, lose kinetic energy until their velocities attain thermal equilibrium with the surrounding atomic lattice, characteristic of a Maxwellian energy distribution at ambient temperature.
