In the elastic scattering reaction, the conservation of momentum and kinetic energy is represented by the equations below. Conservation of momentum (mv) Conservation of kinetic energy where: m = mass of the neutron n m = mass of the target nucleus T v = initial neutron velocity n,i v = final neutron velocity n,f v = initial target velocity T,i v = final target velocity T,f
