I am wondering what the term (a,p) reaction stands for or means. Any help would be appreciated.
The question is as follows:
If Lithium-6 undergoes an (a,p) reaction, how much energey is consumed or liberated in the process? [In this case the alpha particale is the bombarding particle and a proton is produced along with another nucleus]. What is the other nucleus which is produced in the reaction?
Thanks for any help.
