These yield 6Li daughters and kinetic energy, and little kinetic energy per nucleon, relatively speaking. See: https://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/msg98050.html At the highest energy of 4.14 MeV, the energy per nucleon is ~ 0.6 MeV. At the lowest, 0.57 MeV, the average per nucleon is ~ 95 keV. There would be little in the way of neutrinos, gammas, neutrons or alphas. There might be some betas. Eric
