Abstract
The Boltzmann Master Equation theory of nuclear reactions is used to p redict average multiplicities of particles emitted during the thermali zation of an excited nucleus by a nucleon-nucleon interaction cascade. It is shown how it may also be used, together with a Monte Carlo calc ulation, to predict possible sequences of events and hence the cross-s ections and other measurable observables of individual reactions.
