Concept and Principle:
- Separation energy is the energy required to remove a nucleon from a nucleus.
- Neutron separation energy is the amount of energy that is required to remove one neutron from the given nucleus.
Here M(A-1, Z) is the mass of the nucleus after it lost a neutron, mn is the mass of the neutron, M(A, Z) is the mass of the nucleus before it lost a neutron and c is the speed of light.
