When Uranium is bombarded with neutrons,it undergoes fission. The fission reaction can be written as ${}_{92}U^{235} + {}_0n^1 \to {}_{56}Ba^{141} + {}_{36}Kr^{92} + 3x + Q$,where three particles named $x$ are produced and energy $Q$ is released. What is the name of the particle $x$?

  • A
    electron
  • B
    $\alpha$-particle
  • C
    neutron
  • D
    neutrino

The minimum kinetic energy needed by an alpha particle to cause the nuclear reaction ${ }_{7}^{16} N +{ }_{2}^{4} He \rightarrow{ }_{1}^{1} H +{ }_{8}^{19} O$ in a laboratory frame is $n$ (in $MeV$). Assume that ${ }_{7}^{16} N$ is at rest in the laboratory frame. The masses of ${ }_{7}^{16} N, { }_{2}^{4} He, { }_{1}^{1} H$ and ${ }_{8}^{19} O$ can be taken to be $16.006 \ u, 4.003 \ u, 1.008 \ u$ and $19.003 \ u$,respectively,where $1 \ u = 930 \ MeV/c^2$.
