• TITLE: Gamma-Rays in Association with the Rocket-Triggered Lightning Caused by Neutron Bursts

  ABSTRACT: In this work, it shows that nuclear reactions in lightning channel, which are produced by the deuterium-deuterium (D-D) and deuterium-tritium (D-T) nuclear reactions, represent a plausible mechanism for gamma-ray bursts observed at ground. Gamma-ray emissions from lightning can be explained by neutron inelastic scattering in the air. Neutrons (produced in lightning channel) will delay a definitive time (~33 ms) to cover the atmosphere before hitting a molecule and producing gamma rays, which is somewhat longer than the gamma-ray time delay (~20 ms) observed at ground.
