21-More reactions
-
Direct reactions
very fast, only involve the surface of nucleus
strongly forward peaked scattering wrt the incident particle and gradual changes in xsection vs energy
-
-
-
types
inelastic scattering
single collisions between the incoming particle and a nucleon in the target nucleus in which the incident particle emerges with reduced energy
-
-
-
-
-
Compton effect
-
causes reduction of energy of gamma, but not total absorption
-
-
-
Photo-electric effect
photon completely absorbed, knocking off atomic shell electron
-
steps in curve, K or L edges due to fluorescence
-
-
pair production
-
can occur in coulomb field of nucleus if energy of gama is greater than the sum of the electron positron pair energy ~1MeV
