Many elements show resonances in neutron capture.What are these resonances?
A)especially large Q values for each neutron capture
B)certain incident energies at which neutrons are most readily captured
C)especially large N values resulting from the capture of many neutrons
D)certain incident energies at which neutrons are least readily captured
E)certain incident angles at which neutrons are most readily captured

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Resonances in neutron capture occur at certain incident energies at which neutrons are most readily captured. These energies correspond to specific excited states in the target nucleus that have energy levels matching the energy of incident neutrons, allowing for efficient capture.
