Talk:Photofission

Nuclear chain reaction
I have never heard this and can't easily find a reference to it that isn't a reference to Wikipedia itself. I removed it pending a supporting reference:

The topic of merging Photofission with Photodisintegration
Photofission is a topic of current research at several locations in different scales for the purpose of advanced detectors. I am on one such project and can expand the article in the future. This would, however, not match photodisintegration. While they are related, one deals only with subatomic particle decay, while the other deals with atomic particles released in the decay. I propose that they be left separate, and also state that I am willing to expand the article (cited to the research now being done) in a year or so. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Stocjas2 (talk • contribs) 17:32, 8 August 2011‎ (UTC)
 * What “subatomic particle decay”? Neither is a decay process, and the only difference I can realize is that a “classical” photodisintegration is endothermic while photofission is exothermic. If I do not mistake, then articles should be merged, because it is essentially the same reaction: one nucleus and one photon came – two (or more) nuclei released.

Tin photofission
Photofission of tin (Z=50) is hardly conceivable and I have never heard of such an experiment. As the reference is not mentioned, I strongly believe this a wrong information. I then removed it. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 109.23.199.95 (talk) 20:51, 31 August 2015 (UTC)
