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.

8. Collision between neutrons and nucleus of the moderator results in slowing down the newly born fast neutrons. Such a collision is depicted in the figure. The striking fast neutron has an initial energy En and an initial momentum pa. The tar- get nucleus is initially at rest. Considering an elastic scattering, following the col- lision, the scattered neutron has an energy of E, and momentum of p, while the recoiling nucleus has an energy of Ey and momentum of py. Use the conserva- tion of momentum and energy to drive a relation for energy of the scattered neu- tron in terms of the initial neutron energy and mass number of the target nucleus. [Hint: Find the momentum of the recoiling nucleus in terms of the momentum of the initial and the scattered neutron. Substitute for momentum terms (p = 2mE) and for the recoiling energy from the energy balance]. Scattered Neutron E, Pa EN Striking Target Pa Neutron Nucleus Recoiling Nucleus PN
Electron capture is a variant on beta-radiation. The lightest nucleus to decay by electron capture is 7Be -- beryllium-7. The daughter nucleus is 7Li -- lithium-7. The electron is transformed into a massless particle (a neutrino): e +"Be* → "Li + v The initial electron is bound in the atom, so the beryllium mass includes the electron. Infact, since the electron starts bound in the atom, a more-accurate statement of the nuclear reaction is probably: "Be → "Li + v The masses are beryllium: 7.016929 u, and lithium: 7.016003 u, and refer to the neutral atom as a whole. (Use uc and uc² as your momentum and energy units -- but carry them along in your calculation.) The initial beryllium atom is stationary. Calculate the speed of the final lithium nucleus in km/s. (You will make life much easier for yourself if you recognize that practically all the energy released goes into the lighter particle. c = 300,000 km/s)
