Poenitz (contributing authors), Neutron Radiative Capture: Neutron Physics and Nuclear Data in Science and Technology, page 33, In the next step, the giant dipole state may deexcite by the emission of γ-rays. This reaction is called "semidirect". It turns out that direct and semidirect reactions play a dominating role at neutron energies higher than about 5 MeV.

   In response to the supplier's request for improving the semidirect operations (parts supply and line management operations) at the final assembly processes and reducing labor requirements for semidirect operations, JMAC began its assessment of the situation by researching and analyzing in detail the current operations and work methods.

(1997). […] This triggered a number of model studies investigating the semidirect aerosol effect on a global-scale.

   It follows from 2° that σ induces the action homomorphism θ = σπ₁, which we call semidirect. We say that σ is a homomorphic transformation of (A, U). If θ is the semidirect action homomorphism, then it follows from 1° that the θ-module is the semidirect sum ^𝔇 of (A^× U^×) and (B, V).

   2002, Joseph J. Rotman, Advanced Modern Algebra, American Mathematical Society, Graduate Studies in Mathematics, Volume 114, 2nd Edition, page 761, A semidirect product is so called because a direct product G of K and Q requires, in addition to K + Q = G and K ∩ Q = {1}, that both subgroups K and Q be normal (Proposition 1.86); here, only one subgroup must be normal.
