Recoil and chargin contributions to organic incorporation of radiobromine atoms following neutron activation

Abstract

Publication costs assisted by UCLA Laboratory of Nuclear Medicine and Radiation Biology Radiobromine atoms from , activation events in bromine-carbon tetrachloride solutions appear to form carbon-bromine bonds solely as a result of electronic processes initiated by the inner-shell vacancies which accompany internal conversion. Organic yield data from the , reactions are used to evaluate the probabilities of internal conversion accompanying these nuclear activations. A general notation relating certain nuclear factors which may influence the chemical fate of transformed atoms is introduced.
