Nuclear reactions
(reactions of elementary particles)
–
nuclear transmutation induced by external
action. Change of structure of participated nuclei (particles) and also change of state of motion.
Nuclear reactions are also scatterings. Nuclear reactions are possible to divide according to
different criteria:
According to history
( fission nuclear reactions, fusion reactions, nuclear transfer reactions …)
According to collision participants
(photonuclear reactions, heavy ion reactions,
proton induced
reactions, neutron production reactions …)
According to reaction energy
(exothermic, endothermic reactions)
According
to
energy
of
impinging
particles
(low
energy,
high
energy,
relativistic
collision,
ultrarelativistic
…
)
Set
of
masses,
energies
and
moments
of
objects
participating
in
the
reaction
or
decay
is
named
as
process
kinematics
.
Not
all
kinematics
quantities
are
independent
.
Relations
are
determined
by
conservation
laws
.
Energy
conservation
law
and
momentum
conservation
law
are
the
most
important
for
kinematics
.
Transformation
between
different
coordinate
systems
and
quantities,
which
are
conserved
during
transformation
(
invariant
variables
)
are
important
for
kinematics
quantities
determination
.
Nuclear
decay
(radioactivity)
–
spontaneous
(not
always
–
induced
decay)
nuclear
transmutation
connected
with
particle
production
.
Elementary particle decay
-
the same for elementary particles

Laboratory and centre

We are studying not only collisions of particle with fixed centre. Also the description of more
complicated case can be simplified by separation of the centre
-
of
-
mass motion in the case of central
potential. We solve problem using advantageous coordinate system.

in
this
system,
all
kinematic
quantities
are
measured
in
this
system
.
It
is
primary
from
the
side
of
experiment
.
Target
particle
is
mostly
in
the
rest
in

(Experiments
with
colliding
beams
are
exception)
.

–
centre
-
of

is
in
this
system
in
the
rest
and
hence
total
momentum
of
all
particles
is
zero
.
Mostly
we
are
interested
in
relative
motion
of
particles
and
no
motion
of
system
as
whole
using
of
such
coordinate
system
is
very
