This lecture delves into the complex process of modeling neutron interactions, focusing on the specific example of pions colliding with tritium nuclei to produce free neutrons. The instructor explains the technical implications, such as final state interactions and the conditions under which these interactions occur. The lecture also explores the concept of charge three operators in non-relativistic conformal field theory, discussing the perturbation theory and the challenges in computing correlation functions. The goal is to understand the behavior of neutrons at different energy scales, from free neutron behavior to potential multi-neutron resonances or bound states.
