Equations
Nuclear structure
Physical situation Nomenclature Equations Mass number - A = (Relative) atomic mass = Mass number = Number of protons and neutrons
- N = Number of neutrons
- Z = Atomic number = Number of protons = Number of electrons
Mass in nuclei - M'nuc = Mass of nucleus, bound nucleons
- MΣ = Sum of masses for isolated nucleons
- mp = proton rest mass
- mn = neutron rest mass
Nuclear radius r0 ≈ 1.2 fm
hence (approximately) - nuclear volume ∝ A
- nuclear surface ∝ A2/3
Nuclear binding energy, empirical curve Dimensionless parameters to fit experiment: - EB = binding energy,
- av = nuclear volume coefficient,
- as = nuclear surface coefficient,
- ac = electrostatic interaction coefficient,
- aa = symmetry/asymmetry extent coefficient for the numbers of neutrons/protons,
where (due to pairing of nuclei) - δ(N, Z) = +1 even N, even Z,
- δ(N, Z) = −1 odd N, odd Z,
- δ(N, Z) = 0 odd A
Nuclear decay
Physical situation Nomenclature Equations Radioactive decay - N0 = Initial number of atoms
- N = Number of atoms at time t
- λ = Decay constant
- t = Time
Statistical decay of a radionuclide: Bateman's equations Radiation flux - I0 = Initial intensity/Flux of radiation
- I = Number of atoms at time t
- μ = Linear absorption coefficient
- x = Thickness of substance
Nuclear scattering theory
The following apply for the nuclear reaction:
- a + b ↔ R → c
in the centre of mass frame, where a and b are the initial species about to collide, c is the final species, and R is the resonant state.
Physical situation Nomenclature Equations Breit-Wigner formula - E0 = Resonant energy
- Γ, Γab, Γc are widths of R, a + b, c respectively
- k = incoming wavenumber
- s = spin angular momenta of a and b
- J = total angular momentum of R
Cross-section: Spin factor:
Total width:
Resonance lifetime:
Born scattering - r = radial distance
- μ = Scattering angle
- A = 2 (spin-0), −1 (spin-half particles)
- Δk = change in wavevector due to scattering
- V = total interaction potential
- V = total interaction potential
Differential cross-section: Mott scattering - χ = reduced mass of a and b
- v = incoming velocity
Differential cross-section (for identical particles in a coulomb potential, in centre of mass frame): Scattering potential energy (α = constant):
Rutherford scattering Differential cross-section (non-identical particles in a coloumb potential):
