Robin--
I agree with Mark. It seems resonances are the key to many reactions.
Nuclear are no exception, especially when it comes to magnetic resonances
with dipole and quadrapole moments. Quantum Mechanical entanglement also
seems to need resonances. The communication across the boundary to the
Dirac sea of particles also may involve resonances. And I think some
"reaction resonances" need to be better matched to occur frequently.
Mark's comment is right on.

I beg to differ, Robin...
Nature does have a preference... resonances/harmonics.
A channel's probability is a function of how well the oscillations are
matched.

Hi,
[snip]
Since nature prefers the simplest way - which is via radiation, any
mention of exclusivity presents an almost insurmountable problem,
especially if there is no model in standard nuclear physics.
Actually nature has no preference. Each channel occurs with its own
probability.
The channel that will happen most often is the channel with the highest
probability (i.e. the shortest half life).
Since particle emission has a much higher probability than gamma emission,
it happens far more frequently, when it is possible.
