Nuclear Reactions

Problem 6.260

The nuclei involved in the nuclear reaction \(A_{1}+A_{2} \rightarrow\) \(\rightarrow A_{3}+A_{4}\) have the binding energies \(E_{1}, E_{2}, E_{3},\) and \(E_{4} .\) Find the energy of this reaction.

Reveal Answer
Q=(E3+E4)(E1+E2)Q=\left(E_{3}+E_{4}\right)-\left(E_{1}+E_{2}\right)
