Identification of nuclear reactions registered in ionographic detectors
Description
Title of program: JOTOV Catalogue Id: ABKF_v1_0 Nature of problem A nuclear reaction appears in a ionographic detector as an interaction star whose geometry can be accurately measured. Identity and energy of incoming beam are known but identity of target and emergent prongs are not. Once a target has been assumed and a charge and mass number hypothesis (Z,A) has been made for each prong, the complete kinematics of the reaction can be established. All possible hypotheses are examined under the requirements of conservation of momentum and total energy.
