Question B2 a) Calculate the energy corresponding to the Gamow peak for proton-proton fusion at T = 108K. b) Describe the PP chains in stars. c) Consider elastic scattering of electrons by a nucleus with charge distribution given by Pe(r) = if r Ri, p/2 if R Ro, where r represents the radial distance from the centre of the nucleus. Calculate the form factor of the process. d) Consider two nuclei 24X2+1 and 2, where i is a positive integer number. According to the semi-empirical mass formula for the binding energy, which one has larger binding energy? Justify your answer.
