I am working on some neutron experiments and have to calculate the heat released in the boron neutron capture
10B + 1n - > Li + Alpha particle
The reaction has a Q value of 2.31 MeV. Is this entire energy converted to heat?
Also, in the two types of reactions of neutron with Boron, the energy of the excited Li in the reaction is less than the Li in the ground state. Can someone please throw some light on that ?
Thanks
