Repulsive Coulomb barrier

The energy of the y-rays is indicative of the isotope present, and the intensity of the y-rays is a measure of the concentration of the isotope in the sample. The limitation of this method is that, in order to have a nuclear reaction, the repulsive Coulomb barrier has to be overcome. For incident particles of energy up to 3 MeV, the only accessible elements are the light elements with Z< 15 the cross-sections of the remaining elements become rapidly negligible. [Pg.107]

To date, in the chemical experiments with TAEs, the targets have been certain isotopes of the actinoids Th to Cf, while stable isotopes of elements C to Ca have served as the projectiles. An optimal energy of the beam particles is slightly above the repulsive Coulomb barrier between the nuclei to be fused. Namely, it is about 5 to 6 MeV per nucleon of the projectile in the laboratory system the corresponding velocity of the particles is about one-tenth of the speed of light. [Pg.54]

The hydrogen Is orbital encloses a positively charged nucleus that repels other nuclei by a Coulombic R 1 potential. However, such a Coulombic barrier between nuclei is much weaker than the steric repulsion between electronic cores, which varies exponentially with distance. [Pg.707]

For slow neutron-induced reactions that do not involve resonances, we know (Chapter 10) that ct ( ) °c 1 /vn so that (ctv) is a constant. For charged particle reactions, one must overcome the repulsive Coulomb force between the positively charged nuclei. For the simplest reaction, p + p, the Coulomb barrier is 550 keV. But, in a typical star such as the sun, kT is 1.3 keV, that is, the nuclear reactions that occur are subbarrier, and the resulting reactions are the result of barrier penetration. (At a proton-proton center-of-mass energy of 1 keV, the barrier penetration probability is 2 x 10-10). At these extreme subbarrier energies, the barrier penetration factor can be approximated as ... [Pg.343]

In order to induce nuclear reactions with positively charged projectiles such as protons, deuterons, or-particles, oxygra ions, or uranium ions, it is necessary that the projectile particles have sufficient kinetic energy to overcome the Coulomb barrier created by the repulsion betwem the positive charges of the projectile and the nucleus. While there is some probability that a positive projectile can tunnel through the Coulomb barrier at kinetic ergies lower than the maximum value of the barrier, this probability is quite small until the kinetic energy is close to the barrier maximum. [Pg.348]

Before the proton energy can be specified, the energy required to overcome the coulombic barrier at the nucleus of the Al target must be estimated. The maximum repulsion that the proton will experience is when the distance between the center of the proton and the center of the Al is at the minimum defined by the radii. The coulombic barrier is estimated to be about 3.1 MeV. Hence, the energy of 5.591 MeV calculated above is sufficient to overcome the coulombic barrier. A momentum correction is needed to adjust for dissipation of the projectile kinetic energy by both products. The required energy of the proton must be at least 5.591 (28/27) = 5.8 MeV for the reaction to occur with reasonable yield. [Pg.15]

Given a cluster configuration defined by a set of values of the jellium parameters A, p. A), the density of the valence electrons is calculated self-consis-tently by minimizing the total energy of the system. Fig. 9 shows the barriers obtained for two different jellium parameterizations, both of them characterised by d = 0.3134. The first (dashed line) corresponds to the jellium shapes schematically shown at the top of the figure, where the cluster is forced to elongate up to s = 18.3 a.u. (p = 1.175) and scission occurs at s = 23 a.u. After that point, the barrier slowly tends from below to the classical Coulomb barrier (point-like coulombic repulsion between the fragments). The solid line in Fig. 9 corresponds... [Pg.148]

The saturated, short-ranged nature of the attractive nucleon-nucleon interaction creates an approximately uniform mean field inside the nucleus, giving rise to a nearly flat behavior of the nuclear potential. Near the nuclear periphery, the long-range Coulomb repulsive interaction overpowers the short-range nuclear attraction, giving rise to the Coulomb barrier and... [Pg.152]
