Nuclear Force

Question 1

Deuterium - definition and properties

Answer 1

Definition: The deuteron is the simplest nucleus composed of one proton and one neutron.
Properties:
Nuclear spin: I=1
Parity: even (π=1)
Magnetic dipole moment: μ= 0.857
Charge distribution: Half radius =2.1fm
Binding energy:
ΔE=2.224 Me

Question 2

Deuterium spin: definition abd equatio

Answer 2

Definition: Deuteron spin represents the total angular momentum of the deuteron, including the spins of the neutron and proton and their orbital angular momentum.
Equation:
I=s(neutron) +s(proton)+l

Question 3

Nuclear Force Properties

Answer 3

Properties:
Strong (100 × electromagnetic force)
Short-range (cuts off at ∼2 fm)
Attractive, with a repulsive core
Charge independent (no distinction between proton and neutron)
Saturation force (binding energy per nucleon is constant ∼8 MeV/nucleon)

Question 4

According to the exchange model, what are virtual particles, and how do they relate to the Uncertainty Principle?

Answer 4

Virtual particles exist within the confines of the Uncertainty Principle, playing a role in nuclear interactions.
