Abstract

The long standing Γnp puzzle of NMWD has finally been solved recently. It appears that the reason behind the puzzle was the universal quenching of nucleon yields from the prediction of one-nucleon induced (1N-) NMWD. We have shown that the quenching of nucleon yields can be explained only when we include a fairly large contribution of the three-body process (Γ2N) in Γnm.
