1. Having a uniform level of energy.
   • 1955, U.S. Atomic Energy Commission, Reactor handbook: physics, page 15:

     To obtain usable yields of monoergic neutrons below 80 kev, it is necessary to use very large proton currents on thin targets and to observe at back angles.

   • 1959, United States. Congress. Joint Committee on Atomic Energy, Employee Radiation Hazards and Workmen's Compensation:

     In the laboratory, this concept may be demonstrated by using a monoergic roentgen ray source; that is, one producing roentgen rays of only one energy.

   • 2013, Fay Ajzenberg-Selove, Nuclear Spectroscopy, →ISBN, page 465:

     Since Be⁷ has an excited state at 430 kev, the neutrons from the Li⁷(p,n) reaction will not be monoergic when the bombarding energy is sufficiently high to excite this state in Be⁷.
