thermalize1956

1956 Ann. Rev. Nucl. Sci. 6 317 The coolant..slows down the neutrons, acting as a ‘moderator’ and tending to thermalize the assembly.

1961 G. R. Choppin Exper. Nucl. Chem. viii. 116 It is necessary to surround the source with paraffin or water to thermalize the neutrons.

1979 Nature 29 Nov. 456/1 The hypothetical Oort cloud should be thermalised by weak stellar encounters on a time scale ∼ 1 Myr.

b. intransitive. Of subatomic particles, etc.: to attain thermal equilibrium with their environment.

thermalize1966

1966 New Scientist 17 Mar. 707/1 It has been predicted that a positron in a metal should ‘thermalize’—that is, reach the kinetic energy characteristic of the temperature of the metal—in about 10–¹² s.

1973 Physics Bull. Nov. 652/3 The density was so high that any radiation generated would have readily thermalized.

1978 Nature 11 May 133/2 If the infalling protons thermalise just at the surface of the compact object, the radiation will be in the form of γ rays.

1950 S. Glasstone Sourcebk. Atomic Energy xi. 294/1 The process of reducing the energy of a neutron to the thermal region by elastic scattering is sometimes called thermalization or, more commonly, slowing down.
