Which outcome arises when extremely high energy impacts a target material within a spallation neutron source?

💡 Explanation

High energy impacts produce neutron showers because the spallation mechanism involves nuclear fragmentation removing neutrons from the target nuclei. Therefore, many neutrons are released, rather than phase changes or phonon amplification, due to nuclear effects, not material conditions.
