c) Electrons of energy 1 GeV are scattered off the nuclei, 64Cu, 108Ag and 197 Au. The first diffraction minima are observed at scattering angles 7.4°, 6.2° and 5.00 for the three nuclei respectively. Write down the relation between the momentum transferred in the scattering process and the scattering angle. Hence make an estimate of the radii of the three nuclei and comment on the dependence of the radii on the atomic mass numbers. [ 11]
The degeneracy pressure of the electrons can stabilize the collapse of a star due to gravity by equating the gravitational inward pressure with the outward electron gas degeneracy pressure. These cold stars called white dwarfs have small radii compared to their original size and this radius decreases as the original mass of the star increases. As the mass of a star increases, the electron energy increases to a point in which their energy has to be treated relativistically. (a) Evaluate the degeneracy pressure for ultra-relativistic electrons (problem 2, above). (b) As the pressure increases, the reaction e − + p → n + ν takes place. The neutrinos (ν) escape as matter is transparent to them, electrons and protons convert to neutrons until we are left with a neutron star. Using your expression for the degeneracy pressure obtained in (a) above, equate the gravitational pressureto the neutron degeneracy pressure (replace the electron’s mass in your degeneracy pressure expression from (a)…
