    摘要: The present invention relates to a nuclear target (1), a method for inducing a nuclear reaction and a device capable of inducing nuclear reactions. According to the present invention, the nuclear target (1) is equipped with a hollow (12) into which projectile particles (3) are deposited. In the hollow (12), the projectile particles (3) interact with precursors (21 and/or 22 and/or 23), or projectile particles (3) are elastically scattered on isotopes (4). The nuclear target (1), method, or the device thus provides a more efficient induction of nuclear reactions and provides a higher yield of radioisotope production. In another embodiment, the nuclear target (1) can be used as a means used to nuclear waste transmutation, or as a means of sustainable exothermic nuclear reactions.
