Nuclear Physics, A Very Short Introduction
Frank Close 2015, Tigard Lib 539.7 CLO
- p11 1909-11 Rutherford and Marsden bombard gold foil with alphas, 1/10000 bounce back, demonstrates dense positive nucleus less than 1e-12 by volume.
- p12 1913 Bohr "planetary" model for electron, except solar system planets denser than electrons in atoms
- p13 quarks smaller than 1e-4 nuclear radius
p15 Patrick Blackett 1921-4 23,000 cloud chamber photographs of alphas bombarding nitrogen, eight examples of proton ejection and an oxygen
p19 Chadwick neutron 1932
p23 Pauli hypothesized neutrino 1931
- proton, neutron, electron, neutrino spin 1/2
p25Joliot-Curies irradiated aluminum with alpha (helium) particles from radium (or polonium?), produced phosphorus-30 with 3 minute half life
p26 Al[13p14n] + He[2p2n] => n + P[15p15n] ( 3 min ) => Si[16p14n] + positron + neutrino
- p26 1935 Nobel, Frédéric suggests "transmutations of an explosive type"
p27 Hahn and Strassmann fission 1938, Fermi slow neutrons with paraffin or water so they don't shatter nuclei
