  4. Probes for Nuclear Structure To “see” an object, the wavelength l of the light used must be shorter than the dimensions d of the object (l ≤ d). (DeBroglie: p=ħk=ħ2p/l) Rutherford’s scattering experiments dNucleus~ few 10-15 m Need light of wave length l<1 fm, equivalent energy E Not easily available as light Can be made with charged particle accelerators Nuclear Spectroscopy Scan energy states of nuclei. Bound systems have discrete energy states  unbound E continuum

  5. What Structure? - Spectroscopic Goals Bound systems have discrete energy states  unbound E continuum  Scan energy states of nuclei. • Desired information on nuclear states (“good quantum numbers”): • Energy relative to ground state (g.s.) (Ei,i=0,1,…; E*) • Stability, life time against various decay modes (a, b, g,…) • Electrostatic moments Qj see below • Magnetostaticmoments Mi see below • Angular momentum (nuclear spin) • Parity (=spatial symmetry of quantum y) • Nucleonic (neutron & proton) configuration (e.g., “isospin” quantum #) E* Nuclear Level Scheme + 0 - Nuclear Spectroscopy

  6. Particle and g Spectroscopy • Identify scattered/transmuted projectile & target nuclei, measure m, E, A, Z, I,.. of all ejectiles (particles and g-rays). Individual ormulti detector setups, spectrometers Off-line activation measurements Nuclear Experiment

  7. How to Excite Nuclei: Inelastic Nuclear Reactions Scan the bound nuclear energy level scheme Projectile q Coulomb excitation of rotational motion for deformed targets or vibrations. Target p, n,..transferrxns, e.g., (d, n), (3He,d). Final state is excited Nuclear Spectroscopy Fusion/compound nucleus reactions,Final state is highly excited, thermally metastable

  8. Torque exerted on deformed target  excitation of collective nuclear rotations Transfer of angular momentum from relative motion: 1800-q Coulomb Excitation (Semi-Classical) Angular dependence of excitation probability: For small energy losses (weak excitations: spherical Adiabaticity Condition: Fast “kick” will excite nucleus Otherwise adiabatic reorientation of deformed nucleus to minimize energy deformed Vcoul(t) tcoll t t(R0) Excitation probability in perturbation theory: !
