Characteristics of a (radioactive) nucleus

its weight its size its life-time/decay its shape its mood (state)

In recent years unique tools have been developed to determine experimentally and to describe theoretically these characteristics.

its e.m. properties

Nuclear ground state properties

Spins, Moments

microscopic nuclear structure: wave functions, coupling of nucleons, configuration mixing, shell structure macroscopic nuclear structure: deformation

What do we learn?

Charge Radii

nuclear structure: nuclear charge distribution, deformation

Masses

nuclear binding energy basic test of nuclear models nuclear structure: shell closures, magic numbers, pairing, onset of deformation, drip lines, halos

Atomic and nuclear masses

MAtom = N•mneutron + Z•mproton + Z•melectron

  • (Batom + Bnucleus)/c2

= N · – binding energy + Z · + Z ·

Masses determine the atomic and nuclear binding energies reflecting all forces in the atom/nucleus.

δm/m < 10-10 δm/m = 10-6 – 10-8

  • n-star-merger conditions!
  • Nuclear physics input not

correct.  Need nuclear physics experiments & theory for predictions!
