Slow neutrons. Do they collect at the centre of the Earth?

Question

As neutrons are pretty inert and have mass, do slow neutrons collect at the centre of the Earth? If not, where do they end up?

Answer 1

No, they do not "collect" at the center of the earth. Outside of the nucleus, free neutrons decay with a half-life of slightly more than 10 minutes. They decay into a a proton, an electron and an electron-antineutrino.

Answer 2

What? You don't get free neutrons on a planet like this.

I've never heard of slow neutrons, maybe you want to read about neutron stars. We ain't on one.
