Q Value<br />
X(a,b)Y<br />
Define Q value as a “mass difference”:<br />
Q = (m Y<br />
c 2 + m b<br />
c 2 ) - (m X<br />
c 2 + m a<br />
c 2 )<br />
From energy conservation (target X initially at rest):<br />
m X<br />
c 2 + m a<br />
c 2 + K a<br />
= m Y<br />
c 2 + m b<br />
c 2 + K Y<br />
+ K b<br />
Therefore, we also can think of Q as change in K <strong>to</strong>tal<br />
:<br />
Q = (K Y<br />
+ K b<br />
) - K a
