5 Lecture 1 Phys. 641: Nuclear Physics 1 Physics Department Yarmouk University Irbid Jordan Chapter 1: Overview Dr. Nidal Ershaidat Brief History - ATOMOS 4 th Century B.C : Democritus (ATOMOS = indivisible) th Century A.D : Chemists Dalton, Avogadro, Lavoisier, distinguished many kinds of atoms 1869 : Mendeleev proposes his periodic table of Elements for classifying these atoms according to their masses.

6 Brief History French Side 1896: Becquerel discovers Radioactivity : Jean Baptiste Perrin shows that the cathodic rays are electrons 1898: P. & M. Curie identify two new elements: Polonium and Radium. Rutherford The Nucleus 1903: Rutherford (& Mme Curie) identify three types of the naturally emitted particles. (α, β, γ) : Rutherford explains Geiger-Marsden experimental results. He introduces the nucleus

7 Radioactivity By simply using a deflecting magnetic field Marie Curie demonstrated that a particles are doubly positively charged. b particles have the characteristics of electrons and the g radiation behaves like the X-rays of Roentgen but are more energetic. β γ α 13 Radioactive source Magnetic Field Atoms are Neutral Studies of the hydrogen atom revealed that it contains one electron (electrons are particles seen in a cathodic tube and identified by Perrin in 1897) and a positive particle the proton. 14 The only plausible hypothesis to explain the zero charge of the hydrogen atom was to consider that the charge of the proton is equal to that of the electron*. * Millikan measured in 1911 this charge e and found it equal to 1.6x10-19 C

8 The Atomic Number (Z) 15 A new classification replaces that of Mendeleev: it is based on the resemblance of chemical behavior of atoms strongly related to their number of electrons. This number of electrons is called the Atomic Number (symbol Z). It also represents the number of protons of an atom. The Geiger-Marsden Experiment 16 In 1911, Geiger and Marsden (students of Lord Rutherford) discovered an amazing result!! When bombarding a thin foil of gold with alpha particles from a radioactive source Geiger and Marsden noticed that a great majority of these α particles were not deviated, a small fraction of them are scattered and 10-6 of them are simply scattered with a scattering angle of

9 The Geiger-Marsden Experiment 17 A beam of alpha particles (charge=2e, mass=m α ) is incident on a thin foil of gold (Gold Au, Z=79). Geiger-Marsden Results 18 Appendix 1 Rutherford Scattering θ

10 Rutherford The Nucleus 19 Using classical electrodynamics, Rutherford explains the previous findings. Rutherford suggests that an atom is composed of a massive solid core which should have a charge +Ze and should contain all the mass of the atom. This nucleus is surrounded at far distances by Z electrons. The space between the nucleons and the atomic electrons is empty. Lecture 2 Phys. 641: Nuclear Physics 1 Physics Department Yarmouk University Irbid Jordan The Nucleus Z,N and A Dr. Nidal Ershaidat

11 Bohr s Hydrogen Atom Niels Bohr suggests a model to explain experimental results of the measurement of the spectral lines of the hydrogen atom. The atom s electron interacts electrically (now we say electromagnetically) with the proton but within restricted conditions. Quantum mechanics was born. ٢١ ٢٢ The Puzzle of the Atom s Mass See /Chapter-1.pdf k 'U1(UVKDLGDW3K\V&KDSWHU2YHUYLHZ

12 ٢٣ The Puzzle of the Atom s Mass Chemical studies showed that the mass of an atom is much bigger than the sum of masses of its electrons and protons. In order to explain the difference, Rutherford suggested the presence inside the nucleus of particles composed of electrons tightened to protons in a sufficient number to produce the mass of an atom. The He nucleus Do electrons exist inside the nucleus? ٢٤ Such a particle is neutral and has a mass a little higher than the proton s mass Rutherford s suggestion implies the presence of electrons inside the nucleus. Emission of electrons in beta decay of some elements suggests also the presence of electrons in the nucleus But

13 Electrons cannot exist inside the nucleus ٢٥ أكبر وبالتحديد الربط مع البروتونات يجب أن تكون كبيرة جدا قوة (١! القوة الكولومي ة بين الالكترونات والبروتونات من فا ن h h c p = = x x 200 MeV F c 10 F عام تكون طاقة الالكترونات الناتجة عن نشاط بيتا الاشعاعي وبشكل 1 MeV بحدود c = 20 MeV c : التجارب أن الالكترونات لا ي مكن أن تتواجد داخل النواة أظهرت p x = h : (uncertainty principle) مبدأ هايزنبرغ حسب (٢ النواة داخل للا لكترون الخطي الزخم p هو: ( x = 10 F) ٢٦ (٣ الزخم المغزلي اعتبارات Spin considerations p pe r S tot = r r r الهيدروجين: نظير (Deuterium) نواة الدويتريوم مثال وبروتون (الكترون اعتبرنا هذه النواة مكونة من اتحاد بروتون مع لو الزخم المغزلي الكلي لنواة الدويتريوم يساوي: فا ن ببعضهما) مرتبطين التجربة أن وتثبت S tot = , z = S tot + 1, S deuterium = or 3 2

A particle which has the required characteristics predicted by Rutherford, i.e. a neutral particle with a mass of the order of the proton s mass. Rutherford gives an image of the atom which takes into account all the previous considerations and suggests a nucleus with a number Z of protons, a number N of neutrons surrounded at far distances compared to the dimensions of the nucleus, by Z electrons.

15 Atomic and Atomic Mass Numbers Z and A It was known that the number of the positively charged protons should equal the number of electrons. This number is called the atomic number Z. All elements are classified in the periodic table according to their atomic number The mass of a nucleus would be proportional to the sum Z+N. This number Z+N is called the Atomic Mass Number (symbol A) ٢٩ The Periodic Table ٣٠

16 The Periodic Table ٣١ Nuclear Spectroscopy Notations A new notation system is invented by the nuclear physicists in order to characterize each nucleus. A nucleus X with numbers Z, N and A is represented A symbolically by: Z XN or A X or simply A Z X Symbol or H or 1 H Nucleus 1 Hydrogen 1H0 4 Helium 2He2 7 Lithium 3Li 4. Uranium U or or or He 7 3Li U or or or 4 He 7 Li 235 U ٣٢

17 The Other Two Major Discoveries in 1932 Irène and Fréderic Joliot-Curie discover the Artificial Radioactivity and Urey discovers the deuterium, an isotope of hydrogen. The Isotopes Experiments show that 3 kinds of hydrogen behave similarly when involved in chemical reactions. They should in this case occupy the same place in Mendeleev s table. That s why they are called isotopes (the Latin word isotopos means same (iso) place (topos). Hydrogen(H), deuterium(d) and tritium(t) are the isotopes of hydrogen (symbol H). In the nuclear spectroscopy notation these isotopes are represented by: 1, H 3 and H 1 2 1H 1

18 Isotopes, Isotones and Isobars Isotopes of an element have the same Z but different N Examples: Isotopes of the hydrogen are: H, Deuterium and Tritium H 3 1 H and U143 92U146 1H 1 1H 2He1 are two isotopes of Uranium Isotones are elements which have the same N but different Z 2 3 Examples: and are isotones 1H1 1 Isobars are elements which have the same A 3 3 Examples: 2 and are isobars 2He 112 Elements are known ( 1000 isotopes) ٣٥ Stability vs. Z and N The following curve represents Z vs. N for all known isotopes. Isotopes with Z = N are stable. Instability increases when getting far from the line Z=N ٣٦ = 1
