  1. The Deuteron • Deuterium (atom). • The only bound state of two nucleons  simplest bound state • Neither di-proton nor di-neutron are stable. Why? • Experimentally  2.224 MeV (Recoil..!). • Also inverse (,n) reaction using Bremsstrahlung (Recoil…!). • mc2 = 2.224…??…MeV Very weakly bound. • Compare n-p to n-n and p-p  Charge independence of nuclear force. • Only ground state. (There is an additional virtual state). Nuclear and Radiation Physics, BAU, 1st Semester, 2006-2007 (Saed Dababneh).

  2. The Deuteron • V(r) = -V0 r < R • = 0 r > R • Oversimplified. • HW 17 • Show that V0 35 MeV. • (Follow Krane Ch.4 and Problem 4.6), or similarly any other reference. • Really weakly bound. • What if the force were a bit weaker…?

  4. The Deuteron • Experiment  deuteron is in triplet state  = 1. • Experiment  even parity. •  = l + sn + sp parity = (-1)l • Adding spins of proton and neutron gives: • s = 0 (antiparallel) or s = 1 (parallel). • For  = 1 • parallel s-state even • parallel p-state odd • antiparallel p-state odd • parallel d-state even Nuclear and Radiation Physics, BAU, 1st Semester, 2006-2007 (Saed Dababneh).

  5. The Deuteron • Experiment   = 0.8574376 N spins are aligned…..But.? • Direct addition  0.8798038 N. • Direct addition of spin components assumes s-state (no orbital component). • Discrepancy d-state admixture. •  = a00 + a22 •  = a020 + a222 • HW 18In solving HW 17 you assumed an s-state. How good was that assumption? Non-central component Nuclear and Radiation Physics, BAU, 1st Semester, 2006-2007 (Saed Dababneh).

  6. The Deuteron • S-state  No quadrupole moment. • Experiment  +0.00288 b. • HW 18 • Discuss this discrepancy. • From  and Q, is it really admixture? • What about other effects? • Important to know the d-state wavefunction.
