Does the hydrogen bomb emit beta radiation
Does the hydrogen bomb emit beta radiation when it explodes... according to the equation……n+Li6 (alpha+tritium) + deuterium( alpha+n) = 17.6 mev?

OP has been reminded that they were asked a question about their own efforts to answer this query

Okay, after a Mentor discussion, this thread will remain closed for now.

There are several issues here:
  • OP has refused to show any effort in answering their question, even after being asked directly by @phinds what research he has done on it so far
  • This could be misplaced schoolwork with no effort shown, but without further input from the OP it is hard to tell
  • Discussion of detailed processes involved in a fusion bomb are a bit problematic and potentially sensitive
@ahmeds -- Please send me a Private Message (PM -- click on my Avatar and "Start a Conversation") to explain why you are asking this question. I will do my best to work with you to reopen this thread so we can help you with your question. Thank you.
