2 Nuclei Held together by strong nuclear force between nucleons Form of force: more complicated than simple 1- particle exchange à Phenomenological evidence from low energy NN scattering experiments Interpretation of results in terms of fundamental strong interaction between quarks Various models and theories constructed to explain nuclear data in particular domains 18/05/14 F. Ould- Saada 2
3 Stable nuclei Overall net NN force attractive + much stronger than Coulomb force Repulsive core at very short distances (negligible at low energies) Resulting potential Idealised square well R: range of force δ<<r : short range repulsion important V 0 ~40MeV In practice potential smooth at boundaries + must add Coulomb for pp 18/05/14 F. Ould- Saada 3
4 Comparison nn & pp scattering data Nuclear Force charge- symmetric: pp=nn NF almost charge- independent: pp=nn=pn Nucleon- nucleon forces are spin- dependent pn in an overall spin- 1 state à deuteron spin- 0 pn (antiparralel spins) leads to no bound state Nuclear Forces saturate Nucleon in nucleus experiences attractive interaction only with a limited # nucleons (short- range nature of NF) (2.3.1) Difficult to interpret N- N potential in terms of fundamental q- q interactions 18/05/14 F. Ould- Saada 4
5 Difficult to interpret N- N potential in terms of fundamental q- q interactions Nucleons are colourless objects Pion exchange plays a role, heavier mesons (di- quarks) also possible Each exchange would give a contribution to the overall N- N- potential (in analogy with the Yukawa potential resulting from exchange of spin- 0 meson) à various couplings Boson exchange models cannot give a fundamental explanation of the repulsion Instead, specific models are used to describe phenomena in different areas of nuclear physics 18/05/14 F.

Ould- Saada 6
7 For a given ground state, energy levels fill up from bottom of well Fermi level (E F, p F ) = energy of highest level that is completely filled p F = 2ME F Fermi levels of protons and neutrons in a stable nucleus have to be equal (otherwise nucleus can become more stable by β- decay) à Depth of well for neutron- gas deeper than that for proton- gas 18/05/14 F.

11 Binding Energy of electrons in atoms: Primarily due to central Coulomb potential of nucleus Complications due to Coulomb field of other electrons Atomic energy levels characterised by quantum numbers (QNs) Any energy eigenstate in hydrogen atom is labelled by QNs (n,l,m l,m s ) Principal quantum number (QN) n =1,2,3,4,...
