PPT-1 Nuclear and Particle Physics

2 Nuclear Physics Back to Rutherford and his discovery of the nucleus Also coined the term proton in 1920 and described a neutron in 1921 Neutron discovered by Chadwick in 1932 Ernest Rutherford. Prior to its invention in 1932 the only known sources of particles that could induce nuclear reactions were the natural alpha particle emitters for example radium In fact the only type of nuclear reaction known during that period was that of an alph Aleksi .

The idea of discreteness that we met in the atomic world continues to exist in the nuclear world as well.. Nature of science: . (1) Theoretical advances and inspiration: Progress in atomic, nuclear and particle physics often came from theoretical advances and strokes of inspiration. (2) Advances in instrumentation: New ways of detecting subatomic particles due to advances in electronic technology were also crucial. (3) Modern computing power: (4) Finally, the analysis of the data gathered in modern particle detectors in particle accelerator experiments would be impossible without modern computing power.. White dwarfs, neutron stars, and (solar mass) black holes are the collapsed cores of stars which, near the ends of their luminous lives, have shed most of their mass in supernova explosions or other, less spectacular, instabilities. Here gravity crushes matter to realms that lie far beyond present empirical knowledge. This book explores the diverse forms that such compact stars can possibly take, as constrained by the laws of nature: the general principles of relativity and quantum mechanics, the properties of nuclear matter deduced from nuclei, and the asymptotic freedom of quarks at high density. The book is self contained. It reviews general relativity, essential aspects of nuclear and particle physics, and general features of white dwarfs, neutron stars and black holes it includes background on such matters as stellar formation and evolution, the discovery of pulsars and associated phenomena, and the strange-matter hypothesis. The book develops a theory for the constitution of neutron stars and the more exotic Hyperon Stars, Hybrid Stars (containing a quark matter core surrounded by an intricate lattice of quark and hadronic matter) and Strange Stars and Dwarfs (composed of the three light quark flavors sheathed in a solid skin of heavy ions). This second edition has been revised throughout to clarify discussions and bring data up to date it includes new figures, several new sections, and new chapters on Bose condensates in neutron stars and on phase transitions.
