monoergic

comparative more monoergic · superlative most monoergic

1. Having a uniform level of energy.

   In the laboratory, this concept may be demonstrated by using a monoergic roentgen ray source; that is, one producing roentgen rays of only one energy.

   To obtain usable yields of monoergic neutrons below 80 kev, it is necessary to use very large proton currents on thin targets and to observe at back angles.

   Since Be⁷ has an excited state at 430 kev, the neutrons from the Li⁷(p,n) reaction will not be monoergic when the bombarding energy is sufficiently high to excite this state in Be⁷.
