Hi all,

Assuming an accelerated electron hits a free proton
(such as an ionized hydrogen atom), how much energy
does the electron need to 'combine' with the proton?

I assume you'd get a neutron and some photons.
Is there a logical way to work out nuclear
reactions, or do you just look for a table
of known reactions?
