Recoil Distributions in Some Proton Reactions

Abstract

The distributions of recoil products from the two most important double decays of silicon excited by proton absorption are calculated by analytical and numerical methods. The nuclear reactions treated are Si(p, p alpha) and Si(p, 2p) and it is assumed the decays are by evaporation. Conversion of the results to distributions of dose is discussed. The latter distributions are of interest in the soft upset of satellite electronic memories.
