In a certain fusion reaction, a deuteron (\(^{2}_{1}H\)) interacts with a triton (\(^{3}_{1}He\)) and produces an a-particle (\(^{4}_{2}He\)) and a second product. The second product is
A
a proton
B
an electron
C
a neutron
D
a gamma ray
Verified Correct Answer: C.
Physical Principles & Numerical Solution
\(^{2}_{1}H\) + \(^{3}_{1}H\) \(\to\) \(^{4}_{2}He\) + \(^{1}_{0}He\)
