Teaching Philosophy: The aim of this course is to give a BSc-student the required and important idea and features
in nuclear physics which can be abbreviated to introduce:
1. The constituents, size (volume), density and structure of the atomic nucleus.
2. The static nuclear properties: nuclear masses, magnetic dipole moment, electric quadrapole
moment, spin and parity, nuclear binding energy with their representation.
3. Separation energy of proton, neutron, and alpha particle from the nucleus.
4. Important role of the liquid drop model in describing nuclear binding energy and
nuclear stability corresponding to the isobaric (beta) transitions. And showing the
failure of this model in describing the stability of the magic number nuclei.
5. The role of the nuclear shell model especially with using the spin-orbit interaction to
produce all magic numbers, as well as, to predict the spin and parity for the ground
state with the magnetic dipole moment.
6. The appearing the collective model as the result of failure of nuclear shell model in the
description of the excitation in the even-even nuclei.
7. The deuteron nucleus and mirror nuclei to show that the nature of nuclear force is
spin-dependent and charge independent with a tensor type and saturates.
8. Types of nuclear reactions with their Q-value equation and how the kinetic energy and
rest mass energy is converted each to other in the exoergic and endoergic reactions.
9. The concepts of the nuclear radioactivity with the half-life (and mean) time, decay
constant, and activity of the radioactive sources.
10. The main source of the radioactivity can be classified into two types; natural series
and artificial sources.
11. The alpha, beta, and gamma decays represent the nuclear radiations. They can be
treated as the spontaneous reaction to find their Q-value reaction. Alpha decay is
a charged nuclear radiation (Helium nucleus) that happens in the heavy nuclei and
happens to create the stability of the nuclear charge and volume.
