A single neutron with a kinetic energy of 10 MeV collides with U-238 nucleus in the center of mass or COM coordinate system. Show that the maximum possible energy loss in a single elastic collision is given by DE E MAX = ¢ – ( E E = 1 – ) a and that the most probable energy loss is given by ΔEMP = E′ – E = (1 – α)/2 ⋅ E. For a collision with a U-238 nucleus, what is the maximum and most probable energy loss after a single elastic collision?
