3 Short History Lesson
4 Ernest Rutherford 1920 Noting that atomic number (Z) does not correspond to atomic weight, Rutherford suggests that, in addition to bare protons, the nucleus contains some tightly bound proton- electron pairs or neutrons Bothe and Becker discovered a penetrating, neutral radiation when alpha particles hit a Be target. 9 Be 12 C n Walter Bothe 1931 Mme Curie shows that they are not gamma rays and they have sufficient momentum to eject p s from paraffin.? Irene Curie
5 1932 Chadwick replaced the paraffin with a variety of other targets and, by measuring the recoil energies of the ejected particles, was able to determine the mass of the neutral particle M = 1.15 ± ~10% J. Chadwick, Proc. Roy. Soc., A (1932) Chadwick claimed this was Rutherford s Neutron
6 1933 Bainbridge makes precision measurements of the atomic masses of the proton and the deuteron using the mass spectrograph 1934 Chadwick and Goldhaber make the first precision measurement of the neutron mass by looking at the photo-disassociation of the deuteron h d p n Using 2.62MeV gammas from Thorium and determining the recoil energy of the protons they were able to determine*: M n KEY OBSERVATION: M n > M p + M e 1. The neutron cannot be a bound proton-electron pair 2. It is energetically possible for a neutron to decay to e - + p + *Chadwick and Goldhaber, Nature, (1934)
7 Sources of neutrons Neutron generators D + D n + 3 He yields 2.5 MeV neutrons D + T n + 4 He yields 14.1 MeV neutrons Radioactive sources 252 Cf, half-life 2.6 years Am-Be, half-life years

11 Why Neutrons? Neutrons are very sensitive to hydrogen! H and D scatter very differently Appropriate wavelength and energy => geometry of key motions D C O Si Magnetic moment H Weak neutron nucleus interaction => penetrating => easily modeled

19 Why Study Neutrons? The neutron exhibits much of the richness of nuclear physics, but is vastly simpler, and thus more interpretable, than nuclei. The neutron can be used to probe Strong, Weak, EM and Gravitational phenomena as well as serving as probe for new interactions. Neutron decay is the archetype for all nuclear beta decay and is a key process in astrophysics. The neutron is well suited as a laboratory for tests of physics beyond the Standard Model.
20 The Neutron is complicated enough to be interesting But is simple enough to be understandable.

22 Neutron Decay
23 1930 Pauli proposes the neutrino to explain apparent energy and angular momentum non-conservation in beta decay Wolfgang Pauli 1934 Fermi takes the neutrino idea seriously and develops his theory of beta decay Enrico Fermi 1935 The β decay of the neutron is predicted by Chadwick and Goldhaber based on their observation that M n >M p +M e. Based on their ΔM, the neutron lifetime is estimated at ~½ hr Snell and Miller observe neutron decay at Oak Ridge 1951 Robson makes the first measurement of the neutron lifetime
