photofission contribution for the reason that the dosimeters in the capsule were covered by 0.508 mm Gd cover.
For example, they do not count neutrons or gamma rays that would be generated by
photofission even though 9-MeV photons can cause that effect.
The proposed deuteron reactions, however, are either qualitatively or quantitatively inaccurate--barring an unnatural burst of high energy photons (
photofission).
(3) If the basic system is augmented by the capability to detect neutrons and gamma rays resulting from
photofission, neutron detectors in this system would be able to detect neutrons when the beam is on because of the low neutron background.
