This process is called a photonuclear reaction or a nuclear photoelectric effect. And in conclusion, it is worth noting that nuclear reactions can be written as in the form of an equation, as demonstrated earlier, or, for example, in (9), there is also a slightly different notation (10).

As a result, it can be concluded that it is very important for any researcher in contact with this field, including the physics of resonant nuclear reactions, to have knowledge about the nuclear reactions themselves.

And if you notice, then as it was noted, nuclear physics has been developing for a long time, not to mention the time that humanity has spent to study the structure of all matter and matter as a whole. But active research has led to the very recent discovery of a new direction in this field, namely, the physics of resonant nuclear reactions. For the first time such terminology was used and practically demonstrated in the monograph of 2021 by Aliyev I. H. and Sharofutdinova F. M. «The use of accelerators and the phenomena of collisions of elementary particles with high-order energy to generate electrical energy. The Electron Project», which later received its continuation.

The creator of the physics of resonant nuclear reactions is I. H. Aliyev, but what is the basis of this discipline? It studies and determines the most favorable conditions for the occurrence of a kind of power surges of the products of nuclear reactions, which are called resonances. To put it simply, when a nuclear reaction takes place, it forms reaction products, which were discussed in one of the previous lectures, and all the circumstances that lead to the reaction being more efficient and their energies being greater are what the physics of resonant nuclear reactions studies.

Let’s take an example. Let charged particles be directed to the nucleus of some element, it can be protons, ions, electrons, anything. And when approaching the nucleus, the phenomenon of Coulomb repulsion occurs, it acts only on charges of the same name, namely on nuclei, but does not act on neutral particles, for example, neutrons, although the neutrons themselves also have a minimal charge. The particle spends some energy on overcoming the Coulomb barrier and remains with some of its part, which it spends on overcoming the nucleus itself and further passing the nuclear reaction.

The corresponding energy is released in the reaction, if it is endo-energetic, due to the inequality of the masses, that is, some part of the mass is converted into energy and it is already received by the products of the reaction itself – the flying particles, and they also receive the remaining part of the energy from the bombarded particle. And the total energy of these reaction products is determined by the appropriate mathematical apparatus, but we need a power jump.

Power is the product of the beam current by its energy, that is, voltage. The energy is really large for favorable reactions and is measured in MeV, but the current is extremely small. We need to somehow increase it. To do this, it is necessary to understand the phenomenon of the probability of a nuclear reaction. The beam itself is both a wave and a corpuscle, that is, a particle, according to the particle-wave dualism, which you can learn more about from the course of quantum physics, so it has its own de Broglie wavelength (1).

And when a particle approaches the nucleus, even if it did not hit it and did not touch it, if it is at a distance of its wavelength, then there will be an interaction. Yes, indeed, even without touching a particle, it can «hit» and enter into interaction, these are the laws of the microcosm. So, you need to increase this wavelength, and for this you need to reduce the pulse, but to reduce the pulse, you need to reduce the speed.
