The nucleus of an atom consists of protons and neutrons (no electrons). A nucleus of a carbon-12 isotope contains six protons and six neutrons, while a nitrogen-14 nucleus comprises seven protons and seven neutrons. A graduate student performs a nuclear physics experiment in which she bombards nitrogen-14 nuclei with very high speed carbon-12 nuclei emerging from a particle accelerator. As a result of each such collision, the two nuclei disintegrate completely, and a mix of different particles are emitted, including electrons, protons, antiprotons (with electric charge -e each), positrons (with charge +e each), and various neutral particles (including neutrons and neutrinos). For a particular collision, she detects the emitted products and find 17 protons, 4 antiprotons, 7 positrons, and 21 neutral particles. How many electrons are also emitted?

A beam of helium-3 atoms (m 3.016 u) is incident on a target of nitrogen-14 atoms (m = 14.003 u) at rest. Dur- ing the collision, a proton from the helium-3 nucleus passes to the nitrogen nucleus, so that following the col- lision there are two atoms: an atom of "heavy hydro- gen" (deuterium, m = 2.014 u) and an atom of oxygen-15 (m= 15.003 u). The incident helium atoms are moving at a velocity of 6.346 × 106 m/s. After the collision, the deu- terium atoms are observed to be moving forward (in the same direction as the initial helium atoms) with a velocity of 1.531 x 107 m/s.

Certain stars are thought to collapse at the end of their lives, combining their protons and electrons to form a neutron star. Such a star could be thought of as a giant atomic nucleus.

3.) A beam of electrons with energy 250 MeV is elastically scattered through an angle of 10° by a heavy nucleus that is at rest. It is found that the differential cross-section is 65% of that expected for scattering from a point-nucleus. Estimate the root mean square radius of the nucleus. Neglect the recoil of the nucleus and use the rest mass of the electron as 0.511 MeV/c².
