Proton loading of jets and other consequences of the injection of neutrons in accretion flows

Relativistic neutrons are injected in the corona surrounding an accreting black hole through hadronic interactions of locally accelerated protons. If the source is a microquasar, a fraction of these neutrons may escape and penetrate the base of the jet. The neutrons will decay into protons inside t...
