To detect bombs that may be smuggled into airplanes , the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) will soon require all major airports in the United States to install thermal neutrons analysers . The thermal neutron analyser will bombared baggage with low-energy neutrons , converting some of the nitrogen -14 nuclei to nitrogen -15 , with simultaneous emission of `gamma` rays . Because nitrogen content is usually high in explosive , detection of a high dosage of `gamma` rays will suggest that a bomb may be present .
Nuclear process mentioned above involves reaction :

`""_(7) N^(14) + ""_(0) n^(1) to ""_(7) N^(15)`

`""_(7)^(14) N + ""_(0)^(1) n to ""_(6)^(14) C + ""_(1)^(1) H`

`""_(7)^(14) N to ""_(6)^(14) C + ""_(0)^(1) e`

`""_(7)^(14) N to ""_(7)^(15) C + ""_(0)^(-1) e`

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:

`""_(7)N^(14) + ""_(0) n^(1) to ""_(7) N^(15)`

To detect bombs that may be smuggled into airplanes , the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) will soon require all major airports in the United States to install thermal neutrons analysers . The thermal neutron analyser will bombared baggage with low-energy neutrons , converting some of the nitrogen -14 nuclei to nitrogen -15 , with simultaneous emission of gamma rays . Because nitrogen content is usually high in explosive , detection of a high dosage of gamma rays will suggest that a bomb may be present . The sensitivity of the neutral activation analysis depends on the :

neutron flux available for irradiation

availability of nucleus to absorb a neutron

energy of decay process

all of the above are correct
