Unstable nuclei become more stable by spontaneously undergoing a change in their nucleus and emitting radiation. What is the term used to describe this process? Fission reactions are induced in nuclear power plants because they produce great amounts of energy. Often, a nucleus must be forced to ...

Coarse grain models are the only tools capable of modelling defect accumulation under different irradiation conditions at a realistic time and length scale. The core of any such model is the so-called "source term", which is described by the primary damage. In the present work, classical ...
