"""
Photonuclear Transmutation Module
================================
Giant Dipole Resonance (GDR) photonuclear transmutation with Lorentz violation enhancement.
Achieves orders of magnitude higher cross-sections than spallation for gold production.
Key capabilities:
- GDR cross-sections up to 100's of millibarns (vs. ~1-10 mb for spallation)
- Optimal γ-ray energies 13-16 MeV for maximum resonance
- LV enhancement of photonuclear processes
- Element-agnostic configuration for any target isotope
- Orders of magnitude yield improvement over spallation
Physics basis:
- Giant Dipole Resonance: collective nuclear excitation
- Cross-section: σ(E) ≃ σ_max * ((E−E₀)/Γ)² / (1+((E−E₀)/Γ)²)
- Typical parameters: E₀ ≈ 15 MeV, Γ ≈ 4.5 MeV, σ_max ≈ 100 mb
