  "id": "MLC-T-OAG-003804",
  "term": "Thermal diffusion length",
  "field": "Oil and gas",
  "definition": "The average distance a thermal neutron travels in a medium before being captured by an atomic nucleus. This parameter is inversely related to the macroscopic thermal neutron capture cross-section of the formation. It is a key factor in the design and interpretation of pulsed neutron logging tools.",
