>>12829873I thought they were all interchangeable since properties like energy and momentum are all a matter of reference frame.
If you X-rayed a segment of Beryllium won't it emit neutrons the same as if you hit it with gamma particles since they are both photons?
>>12829885>Because uranium fission itself produces neutrons. The neutrons we use are there to initiate the fission process, the neutrons produces by uranium self-sustain the reaction afterwards.Wouldn't any particle work as long as it has has enough energy for the interaction or the additional energy coming from the relative momentum of the uranium atom in a moving reference frame since they are all identical?
