Hi all!
I've got a question about the quantity referred to as 'self-capacitance'. From what I can gather, self-capacitance is the amount of charge necessary to generate a 1 Volt E-field between an arbitrary surface and a ground plane @ infinity. This doesn't make sense to me, but that's why...
Right on. So the presence of free, high-energy neutrons is absolutely necessary for the nuclear reaction which creates C-14 then?
I was thinking that meteor impacts such as the siberian impact in 1908 which released 15 megatons of energy could create C-14, but I guess in lieu of free...
Hello all!
I have a question about the way or ways in which C-14 can be created:
From the background research I have done, I see that high energy neutrons colliding with nitrogen atoms give rise to C-14. I also looked a little bit into beta+ decay. I was curious as to whether or not...
