Answer
Nuclear reactions are the interactions between atomic nuclei that result in the formation of one or more different atomic nuclei and subatomic particles (neutrons or protons). Bothe was studying nuclear reactions when he developed and applied coincidence methods. Coincidence methods are used to study events that occur simultaneously, such as the emission of two particles from a nuclear reaction.
