Institut Laue–Langevin in Grenoble has a facility for neutron scattering experiments. What is the advantage of neutron scattering over X-ray scattering for detection of small atoms? *

1 point

Neutrons are neutral

Neutrons are more energetic than X-rays so they penetrate deeper

For neutron scattering, cross-section is not proportional to atomic number of the target
