(a) If we assume 10 MeV for the photon energy, from ( 1.4 ) we have

which is largely smaller than ( 1.3 ).

(b) Solving Eq. ( 1.4 ) in and assuming that the proton energy is the one measured ( 1.3 ), the photon energy is

(c) In the case of neutron scattering, , the maximum proton energy occurs again in the forward scattering. Since the proton and neutron masses are very similar, this corresponds to the neutron stopped and the proton achieving the entire initial energy. This is a well known fact in a billiard, but can be easily obtained from kinematics. Being , we can treat the kinematics in one dimension as
