Answer is: nuclear change.

Transmutation is a process that involves a change in the nucleus of an atom. It can be natural or artificial.

For example: 14/7 N + 4/2 He --> 17/8 O + 1/1 H.

This example is the first artificial nuclear transmutation described by Rutherford in 1919.  

Artificial transmutation can be expressed by nuclear reaction:  

Target Nuclide + Bombardment Particle → New Nuclide + Ejected Particle.
