Hey everyone I'm new here and this is my first thread, although i have great interest in chemistry and physics my knowledge of these fields is very basic( I'm graduated in economics) so don't be surprised if i ask something that may look silly.
so here are my firsts questions.
-Is it possible to cause the nucleus of a silicon atom to split into 2 new ones of silimilar mass by shooting high energy gamma rays at that nucleus?
-If so would a gamma ray with the energy equal to the atom's nuclear binding energy sufice?
Thank you
