The rest mass of the deuteron, proton and neutron is equivalent to energy of 1877MeV, 939MeV, 940MeV respectively. A deuteron may disintegrate to a proton and neutron if it.
The rest mass of the deuteron, proton and neutron is equivalent to energy of 1877MeV, 939MeV, 940MeV respectively. A deuteron may disintegrate to a proton and neutron if it.
Energy of products = 939 + 940 = 1879
ΔE + E_reactions – E_productor = 1877 – 1879 = -2MeV.
Hence it must capture a γ - ray photon of energy 2MeV.
