Additional field(s): Physics
English term or phrase: spallation
Definition from European Nuclear Society:
Nuclear conversion during which an energy-rich bombardment particle knocks out numerous individual particles (protons, neutrons) from the target nucleus. Observed initially as an effect of cosmic radiation.

Example sentence(s):
  • There are many distinct methods of producing sufficiently strong neutron beams for science. Because of their flux (see below), that is higher by several orders of magnitude, nuclear reactors and spallation sources are nowadays preferred to radioisotope, photon or accelerator sources. AUSTRON
  • Finally, the pulsed proton beam will be directed onto a liquid mercury target, where 60-Hz pulses of neutrons will be created through spallation reactions of the protons with the mercury nuclei. Spallation Neutron Source
  • With the world's highest flux reactor-based neutron source (the High Flux Isotope Reactor) and the world's most intense pulsed accelerator-based neutron source (the Spallation Neutron Source), ORNL provides neutron scattering capabilities unavailable anywhere else in the world.

Spallation
Definition:
Spallation (von engl. to spall „absplittern“) ist eine nichtelastische Wechselwirkung eines Atomkerns mit einem Projektil (Neutron, Proton, einem anderen Kern oder einem Elementarteilchen) hoher kinetischer Energie (> 100 MeV). Der Atomkern wird dabei praktisch zerschmettert; in kleinere Bruchstücke und in der Regel mehrere Neutronen.

Fragmentierung


Definition from Wikipedia, Brockhaus:
Fragmentierung ist die Teilung einer grösseren Einheit in kleinere Bestandteile. Es kann sich um ein Atom, ein Molekül, einen Asteroiden, oder einen Datenspeicher handeln.

Example sentence(s):
  • Die stark störende Fragmentierung (mehrere Peaks im Spektrum) der Moleküle im Probengas wird dadurch nahezu ganz unterbunden. - Wikipedia

Yes  M Stompor: Ich fand auch: "Kernzertümmerung, Spallation" - Es kommt vielleicht wie immer darauf an, für wen (welchen "Fachmenschengrad") man übersetzt!

Example sentence(s):
  • Dabei betont die zuständige Unterarbeitsgruppe "die Notwendigkeit einer leistungsstarken Neutronenquelle, wie sie die Europäische Spallationsquelle (ESS) darstellt, um die führende Stellung Europas in der Forschung mit Neutronen zu erhalten und auszubauen." Die im Vergleich zu bestehenden Forschungsreaktoren um ein Vielfaches höhere Leistungsfähigkeit der ESS lasse "neuartige Forschungsmöglichkeiten in den Bereichen Festkörperphysik, Chemie, Biologie, Materialwissenschaften und Ingenieurwissenschaften erwarten."

Explanation:
Anscheinend kamen schon viele auf die Idee dieser Übersetzung, durften sie aber nicht einstellen. Also blöd, dass ich das jetzt mache und womöglich die Lorbeeren ernte...

Notes to answerer
Tony M I guess it all depends on where and when this 'réglage' occurs. I could imagine the machine having to be run for a certain time in order to adjust the pressure, dosing quantity etc. — so in that sense, some adjustment is being carried out, and in nomrla manufacturing engineering, adjusting a machine in this way is indeed called 'setting' and is performed by a 'setter'. However? i have no idea if this same term is used in pharamceutical manufacturing, nor indeed if this is what it is referring to anyway.
