Assuming that the nucleons in the nucleus behave as particles moving inde- pendently and contained within a hard-walled box of volume (4/3) R³ where R is the nuclear radius, calculate the maximum Fermi momentum for a pro- ton in 29 Cu63 the nuclear radius being 5.17 fm. A proton beam of kinetic energy 100 MeV (momentum 570.4 MeV/c) is incident on a target 29 Cu63. Would you expect any pions to be produced by the reaction p + p → d+л from protons within the nucleus (neglect the binding energy of nucleons in the copper, i.e assume a head-on collision with a freely moving proton having maximum Fermi momentum and calculate the total energy in the CMS of the p + p collision). The binding energy of the deuteron is 2.2 MeV
