  • Nuclear and Radiation Physics, BAU, Second Semester, 2009-2010 (Saed Dababneh).*Nuclear Size Closest approach d. E = ECoulomb d = 2kZe2/E What about the recoil nucleus? HW 7 Show that

    where mN : mass of the nucleus m : mass of alpha

    What are the values of d for 10, 20, 30 and 40 MeV on Au?How does this explain ?

  • Nuclear and Radiation Physics, BAU, Second Semester, 2009-2010 (Saed Dababneh).*Nuclear Shape Crude Nucleons in the nucleus are confined to an approximately spherically symmetric structure Nuclear radius. Deformations! Consequences.!! Is there a sharp spherical wall???!!! HW 8if it is assumed that the charge is uniformly spherically distributed in a nucleus, show that the electric potential energy of a proton is given by:

    Estimate the number of 235U fission events that occur in the reactor per second.

Directly proportional ??!!! Clearly wrong ! wrong assumption finite range of strong force, and force saturation.

    Remember HW 14 (Krane 3.14).

    Sn (A, Z, even N) Sn (A-1, Z, N-1)This is the neutron pairing energy.

    even-even more stable than even-odd or odd-even and these are more tightly bound than odd-odd nuclei.
