Nuclear Reactions

Types of Reactions

[math]a + X \rightarrow Y + b[/math]
elastic scattering
X & Y and a & b are the same particles, momentum and energy are conserved, typically all are in their ground state
In-elastic scattering
If Y or b are in an excited state, energy is not conserved it is used to excite one of the exiting particles.
knockout reaction
a & b are the same but there are 3 total particles in the final state.
e - + Mo-100 \rightarrow Mo-99 + n + e-
