7. Nuclear models

7.1 Fermi gas model

7.2 Shell model

• Free electron gas: protons and neutrons moving quasi-freely within thenuclear volume

• 2 different potentials wells for protons and neutrons.

• Spherical square well potentials with the same radius

Nucleons are rather weakly bound inthe nucleus

Potential well in the Fermi-gas model

The neutron potential well is deeper that the proton well because of themissing Coulomb repulsion. The Fermi Energy is the same, otherwise the p-->ndecay would happen spontaneously. This implies that they are more neutronsstates available and hence N>Z the heavier the nuclei become.

NOTA BENE: A) Il risultato prova che l’energia cinetica totale ha un MINIMO quando N = Z, e dato che E(totale) = T –V, con T proporzionale ad A, E(totale), che e’ negativa ed e’ anche la BINDING ENERGY totale, e’ proporzionale ad A (primo termine dell’equazione semiempirica delle masse) B) Aggiungendo il secondo termine, come nell’equazione semiempirica delle masse, la BINDING ENERGY diminuisce in modulo. A parte I valori dei coefficienti, il modello a gas di Fermi predice correttamente
