Nuclear Recoil

Nuclear Recoil is the conservation-driven translational motion of an atomic nucleus following the emission or absorption of ionizing radiation, distinguished from other forms of momentum transfer by its origin in the discrete quantum-level ejection of particles or photons during radioactive decay processes.
