Im reading a paper about use of electron beams in oncology and it says:
"The mechanism of neutron production in the region of electron beam energies under consideration is determined by photodivision of nuclei by bremsstrahlung photons and the small contribution of electrodivision by electrons".
what is photodivision and electrodivision? is this just fission induced by photons and electrons respectively? or is it a different process altogether?
thanks
