Structure and properties of the nucleus Compare ATOMS (r~1Å )vsNUCLEI (r~10 -4 Å) Coulomb force ~ 1/  Strong force~1  E ~ ev: visible – X  E ~ Mev: gamma rays Magic numbers: nucleons fill in shells related to spins Liquid-drop model: Binding energy ~ +c 1 A – c 2 A 2/3 – c 3 Z 2 /A 1/3 –c 4 (N-Z )2/ A ~ # of bonds – surface area – coulomb repulsion – proton excess (fusion)(fission)

Binding energy per nucleon

Binding energies and nuclear forces Binding energy = mass defect = (M initial – M final ) c 2 =  mc 2 =Q Strong force: Yukawa potential High-Z nuclei need extra n, relax by fission Low-Z nuclei need fewer n, relax by fusion

Radioactivity Alpha decay (MeV): nucleus emit 4 He 2 nucleus, transmutes to Z-2. Ex: smoke detector: 241 Am 95 ionizes N 2, O 2 ; smoke blocks current. Beta decay: (MeV): neutrons become protons: n  p + e - + neutrino. Ex: carbon dating: 14 C 6  14 N 7 + e - + neutrino (Prob.11.6 p.410) Gamma decay: Excited nucleus relaxes by emitting photon

Detectors Geiger counterScintillation detector more sensitive Semiconductor detectors can measure particle energy.

Fission n+ 235 U  fission  chain reaction, if critical mass

Fusion Compress protons together, opposing Coulomb repulsion with gravity (Sun) ormagnetic pressure (tokamak)

Fusion vs Fission Experimental stageReactors operational Hydrogen  HeliumUranium  Z~ H Radioactive 90 Sr 38 n  irradiated metal waste toxic sludge and gas 12 yearsHalf life 30 years beta (Q =15 MeV)Decaybeta (Q = 86 MeV) Water (biological  1/2 < 3 days) Bio calcium-like  bones Fault  loss of plasmaFault  meltdown

other applications of nuclear physics Medical treatment: radiation therapy Medical diagnoses X-rays: harder tissue (tumors, bones) in 2D tomography: slices  3D image CAT scans: computerized axial tomography PET scans: Positron emission tomography: detect beta-decay from injected or inhaled 11 C 6, 13 N 7, 15 O 8, 18 F 9 MRI (NMR): detect H spin-flip in water-rich tissue

X rays and CAT scans

PET scans detect beta-decay from injected or inhaled 11 C 6, 13 N 7, 15 O 8, 18 F 9

NMR = Nuclear Magnetic Resonance H makes spin-flip transitions in RF field. Frequency of transitions =  E/h depends on external B

MRI = Magnetic Resonance Imaging Impose B 0 which varies in space, constant in time. Measure absorption of B 1 which varies in time (RF)
