A proton can capture an electron and turn into a neutron provided the electron has a kinetic energy of 0.782 MeV or more.An element of the Periodic Table can change into another on being exposed to such high energy electrons.
We present a reaction model to describe the fast removal of the $\alpha$-particle core in $^8$He nucleus with eventual emission of four neutrons. The obtained four neutron energy distributions allows to explain the sharp low energy peak…
The coupling of photons with (ultra-) relativistic atomic nuclei is presented in two particular circumstances: very high electromagnetic fields and very short photon pulses. We consider a typical situation where the (bare) nuclei (fully…
