What happens to curium-242 when it's bombarded with an alpha particle?

Depending on the energy of the alpha, fusion into Californium-246 could happen, or elastic Rutherford scattering could happen. If the alpha was energized enough to compensate for the reactions net mass increase (mCf - mCm - mα = 6.86MeV) and the Coulomb barrier (about 26MeV), so about 33MeV total, it could fuse into Cf246. Otherwise it'll bounce off the Cm242 via elastic scattering.


How do you change 24.4 into a fraction or mixed number?
