Difference between Gamma ray and Photofission

Gamma ray vs. Photofission

A gamma ray or gamma radiation (symbol γ or \gamma), is penetrating electromagnetic radiation arising from the radioactive decay of atomic nuclei. Photofission is a process in which a nucleus, after absorbing a gamma ray, undergoes nuclear fission (splits into two or more fragments).

Similarities between Gamma ray and Photofission

Gamma ray and Photofission have 7 things in common (in Unionpedia): Atomic nucleus, Excited state, Gamma ray, Nuclear fission, Photodisintegration, Subatomic particle, X-ray.

Atomic nucleus

The atomic nucleus is the small, dense region consisting of protons and neutrons at the center of an atom, discovered in 1911 by Ernest Rutherford based on the 1909 Geiger–Marsden gold foil experiment.

Excited state

In quantum mechanics, an excited state of a system (such as an atom, molecule or nucleus) is any quantum state of the system that has a higher energy than the ground state (that is, more energy than the absolute minimum).

Nuclear fission

In nuclear physics and nuclear chemistry, nuclear fission is either a nuclear reaction or a radioactive decay process in which the nucleus of an atom splits into smaller parts (lighter nuclei).

Photodisintegration

Photodisintegration (also called phototransmutation) is a nuclear process in which an atomic nucleus absorbs a high-energy gamma ray, enters an excited state, and immediately decays by emitting a subatomic particle.

Subatomic particle

In the physical sciences, subatomic particles are particles much smaller than atoms.

Gamma ray and Photofission Comparison

Gamma ray has 148 relations, while Photofission has 16. As they have in common 7, the Jaccard index is 4.27% = 7 / (148 + 16).
