Does "neutron activation" mean hitting the nucleus with a neutron so that it absorbs it? (Course, that would change it to a different isotope if that's what the phrase means.)

Henry

Yes - I just looked it up and it's what I always referred to as "neutron capture".  
Isotope + n -> heavier isotope -> decay or fission

There isn't any probability that the letter d is in the word "mathematics"...  The correct answer would be "not even 0" - JoeG
