Determining the uncertainty of Eγ
To determine the uncertainty in Eγ we pick an angle for the neutron within [[math]\displaystyle{ \theta_n }[/math], [math]\displaystyle{ \theta_n }[/math] + Δ [math]\displaystyle{ \theta_n }[/math]] and a momentum of the neutron between [[math]\displaystyle{ P_n }[/math], [math]\displaystyle{ P_n }[/math] + Δ [math]\displaystyle{ P_n }[/math]].
What are reasonable Δ[math]\displaystyle{ \theta_n }[/math] and Δ [math]\displaystyle{ P_n }[/math]?
[math]\displaystyle{ P_n }[/math] is determined by time of flight.
