This is a heavy nucleus splitting after neutron capture. What do you think it is?

michele_laino · Answer

it is not a neutron capture, it is a collision between a particle and a nucleus

hayleymeyer · Answer

chemical to electrical and nuclear?

michele_laino · Answer

most probably it is a nuclear fission, produced by a flux of incident neutrons
