Modern Ch.10-11: Nuclear physicsPhysical Systems, 6.March.2003 EJZ
• Structure and properties of the nucleus
• Binding energies and nuclear forces
• Radioactivity
• Detectors
• Fission
• Fusion
• other applications of nuclear physics
Figures from Giancoli and Kaufmann+Freedman
Structure and properties of the nucleus
• Compare ATOMS (r~1Å ) vs NUCLEI (r~10-4 Å)
Coulomb force ~ 1/ Strong force~1E ~ ev: visible – X E ~ Mev: gamma rays
• Magic numbers: nucleons fill in shells related to spins
