Inelastic vs. neutron capture

[SamAnotnio]

For neutron inelastic interaction, the nucleus de-excites by emitting gamma-rays or charged particles. However, for neutron capture, the nucleus de-excites by emitting gamma-rays only. Why does the nucleus in the neutron capture interaction de-excite by only emitting gamma-rays? why not by emitting gamma ray and charged particles like inelastic?

Thanks

Are you sure you haven't switched the outcomes?

Sometimes there is not enough energy to eject a proton. Even if there is enough energy it is random if a proton is emitted or not.
