Compound Nuclear Reactions
• The compound nucleus is a long-lived reaction intermediate that is formed by a complex set of interactions between the projectile and the target.
• The projectile and target nuclei fuse and the energy of the projectile is shared among all the nucleons of the composite system.
• The lifetime of the CN is ~ 10-18-10-16 s. This lifetime is directly measurable by crystal-blocking techniques.

Independence Hypothesis or “Amnesia Assumption” • The mode of decay of the CN is
independent of its mode of formation.
• Caveat: Conservation laws apply.• Experimental evidence: the Ghoshal
expt.• Angular distributions symmetric
about 90 in CN frame.

/D >>1• Assumption is that of statistical
equilibrium• For reaction a + A Cb + B
σab = σC PC(b)• So the problem is to calculate the
probability that C will decay to B + b.
