We have fast neutron; need to add thermal and epithermal as well.

Thermal neutron: A neutron that has (by collision with other particles) reached an energy state equal to that of its surroundings, typically on the order of 0.025 eV.
(Source: https://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/basic-ref/glossary/neutron-thermal.html)

Epithermal neutron: a neutron with energy greater than a thermal neutron, but less than a fast neutron. The approximate energy range is 0.025-0.4 eV.
