Oppenheimer-Phillips process

Oppenheimer-Phillips process

The Oppenheimer-Phillips process or strip reaction is a special type of nuclear reaction.

In this reaction a nucleus reacts with the neutron of a deuterium core but the proton possible that would otherwise lack the energy to overcome the Coulomb barrier.

An example is

:12C(d,p)13C.

It was described by J. Robert Oppenheimer and Melba Phillips in 1935.
