Nuclear Physics
Efendi Y., S.Si
The family of
particles
Hadrons
Leptons
subatomic particles
that are not affected
by the strong nuclear
force
subatomic particles made up of
quarks that affected by the strong
nuclear force
Baryons : 3 quarks
Mesons : quark + antiquark
Quarks
Mass & energy
Einstein's equation
Radioactive decay
Alpha decay
Beta decay
Beta decay
Beta decay
Gamma decay
the process in which a massive nucleus
splits into two smaller nuclei
Binding energy
the mininum exernal energy required to completely
separate all the neutrons and protons of a nucleus to
infinity
Fission
Fusion
the process in which two light nuclei
join together to form a heavier nucleus
not affected by the presence of other nuclei,
not affected by chemical reaction
Spontaneous &
random decay
Spontaneous
Random
impossible to be predicted, each nucleus has
the same chance of decaying per unit time
Decay equation
decay constant
the probability that an individual nucleus will decay
per unit time interval.
activity
the rate of decay of nuclei of a radioactive
source.
