Abstract

In the Bohr theory of the compound nucleus [56, 57], a nuclear reaction is considered as a series of successive independent processes: that of forming the compound nucleus and those associated with its decay. In forming a compound nucleus, an incident particle is absorbed by the nucleus, and its energy is distributed among the nucleons. In the decay of a compound nucleus, the excitation of the nucleus is taken up in the emission of particles. The way in which a compound nucleus disintegrates is independent of the way in which it is formed, being determined only by its state: the energy, moment of momentum, and parity.
