Many nuclear processes of interest involve production of several neutrons with small relative energy. To treat the problem of final-state interactions between the neutrons, we develop the formalism of "nonrelativistic conformal collider physics," inspired by a similar formalism in relativistic field theory. This formalism reduces the computation of the momentum distribution and correlation between the final particles to that of correlation functions involving the so-called "detector operators." The general formalism is applied to point production of three unitary fermions, where we find the momentum and angular distribution of final particles, and point production of a large number of such fermions. We will discuss the "oscillator frame" which maps the asymptotic out-state to a quantum wave function. This talk is based on arXiv:2608.18202 with Cyuan-Han Chang, Subham Dutta Chowdhury, and Ian Moult.
