Question
For the nucleus ¹60 the neutron and proton separation energies are 15.7 and
12.2 MeV, respectively. Estimate the radius of this nucleus assuming that the
particles are removed from its surface and that the difference in separation
energies is due to the Coulomb potential energy of the proton.
