You may use the approximations Z(Z − 1) ≈ Z², A(A − 1) ≈ A² and (A − 1)" ≈ An — nA¹-1,
and ignore the pairing term.

A point source of thermal neutrons is placed at the centre of a large sphere of beryllium. Deduce the spatial distribution of neutron density in the sphere. Estimate what its radius must be if less than 1% of the neutrons are to escape through the surface. Find also the neutron density near the surface in this case in terms of the source strength. At.

Alpha particles of kinetic energy 6.9M V are incident at a rate of 3.1x 10" per second on a copper foil of thickness 3.1 x 10-m. A circular detector of diameter 1.0cm is placed 13cm from the foil at an angle of 30° with the direction of the incident alpha particles. At what rate does the detector measure scattered alpha particles? (The molar mass of copper is 63.5 and its density is 8.9em-)
