bombardment collapse: the act (or an instance) of subjecting a body or substance to the impact of high-energy particles (as electrons or alpha rays)

cleavage collapse: the act of cleaving or splitting; the line formed by a groove between two parts (especially the separation between a woman's breasts); (embryology) the repeated division of a fertilised ovum; the breaking of a chemical bond in a molecule resulting in smaller molecules; the state of being split or cleft; "there was a cleavage between the liberal and conservative members"

target collapse: sports equipment consisting of an object set up for a marksman or archer to aim at; a reference point to shoot at; "his arrow hit the mark"; the location of the target that is to be hit; intend (something) to move towards a certain goal; "He aimed his fists towards his opponent's face"; "criticism directed at her superior"; "direct your anger towards others, not towards yourself"

chain reaction collapse: a series of chemical reactions in which the product of one is a reactant in the next; a self-sustaining nuclear reaction; a series of nuclear fissions in which neutrons released by splitting one atom leads to the splitting of others

stimulation collapse: the act of arousing an organism to action; any stimulating information or event; acts to arouse action; (physiology) the effect of a stimulus (on nerves or organs etc.)

dissociation collapse: the act of removing from association; (chemistry) the temporary or reversible process in which a molecule or ion is broken down into smaller molecules or ions; a state in which some integrated part of a person's life becomes separated from the rest of the personality and functions independently

fission collapse: a nuclear reaction in which a massive nucleus splits into smaller nuclei with the simultaneous release of energy; reproduction of some unicellular organisms by division of the cell into two more or less equal parts

breeding collapse: the production of animals or plants by inbreeding or hybridization; helping someone grow up to be an accepted member of the community; "they debated whether nature or nurture was more important"; elegance by virtue of fineness of manner and expression; producing offspring or set aside especially for producing offspring; "the breeding population"; "retained a few bulls for breeding purposes"
