Hydrodynamic effect in the passage of fission fragments through condensed matter
Gol'danskii V.I., Lantsburg E.Ya., Yampol'skii P.A.
When fission fragments pass through condensed matter, the hydrodynamic mechanism of energy transfer causes a short-duration compression of the matter in the vicinity of the fragment track; this, in turn, can increase the concentration of the active particles that stimulate the course of various chemical processes.
