Nucleon and Nuclear Angular Momentum
2
Nucleon Angular Momentum Inside the nucleus, each nucleon has -- –“Orbital” angular momentum –Spin angular momentum
3
Nucleon Angular Momentum Inside the nucleus, each nucleon has -- –“Orbital” angular momentum - z-axis projection –Spin angular momentum

Nucleon Angular Momentum Inside the nucleus, each nucleon has -- –Total angular momentum –Total angular momentum z-axis projection
5
Nucleon Wave Functions Individual nucleon wavefunctions -- Note the appropriate quantum numbers
6
Nucleon State Multiplicities Individual nucleon wavefunctions --
7
Nuclear Angular Momentum Total nuclear angular momentum is -- Nuclear angular momentum z-axis projection
8
Nuclear Angular Momentum Why is I always even for even-A nuclei? Why is I always odd for odd-A nuclei? –Hint: Consider the z-axis projections of the nucleons…
