The Kinetic Energy of a Neutron
There's a triggering mechanism. And there's various ways to do that in our fizz riffs of sea journal papers. We documented the experiments that we did that used a gamma beam to to focus on this deuterated metal lattice. And so what that gamma beam did was impart kinetic energy into that lattice. In some cases would break apart some of the deuterons into a proton and then and it's neutron at a certain energyThat can happen. So now you have energy that's imparted onto the proton and the neutron. Well, like I said before, the neutron's neutral so it can travel anywhere it wants to.
