A usual investigation line to address the study of jets nature and composition is to determine theenergetics of the relativistic particles populations which are present in the jet, and the electromagnetic radiationemitted by them. The neutron component, originated in situ through interactions of relativistic protons withmatter or radiation, has not been studied in microquasars. The neutrons, when decaying or interacting with matteror radiation fields, introduce new relativistic electron and proton sources, distributing the latter populationsalong the jet. Since neutrons do not interact with magnetic fields, their dynamics are distinct to that of chargedparticles. This allows neutrons to escape from the acceleration region easier than other particles, taking anenergy fraction away of the system. In this work we introduce the relativistic neutron component in the study ofenergetics of relativistic particles of microquasar jets. We model the spectral energy distributions with a One-Zoneapproximation to solve the appropriate transport equations.
