Hi,
On Wikipedia (here), we can find that in following channels of nuclear fusion reactions:
H-2 + H-3 -> He-4 (3.5 MeV) + n (14.1 Mev)
H-2 + H-2 -> H-3 (1.01 MeV) + H-1 (3.02 MeV)
H-2 + H-2 -> He-3 (0.82 MeV) + n (2.45 MeV)
H-2 + He-3 -> He-4 (3.6 MeV) + H-1 (14.7 MeV)
The released energy is always distributed between products.
But I have a few questions regarding above and other reaction channels:
1) Does this energy always manifests as kinetic energy of products?
2) If no, does the product nuclide can be created in excited state (and consume some of kinetic energy)?
3) or may a gamma photon be emitted consuming some the energy?
4) and finally, if only one nuclide is produced (e.g. He-4), does whole energy is transferred to that product?
Oh, I am talking about reactions in low energies, up to ± 30 MeV.
Many Thanks,
Toreno
