Thanks for the reply, Count Iblis, I will definitely keep that in mind. But as you correctly assume I will not have time to study any book in detail during this impending project. That must, unfortunately, wait until after my project is done.
I would still very much like to know which topics...
Thanks for the reply.
Well, I just wanted to be 100 % sure that I had all the books that I could possibly need. :wink:
My aim is to condense some of the key aspects of QM into those 15-20 pages so as to give a somewhat clear image of this theory. For example if I wanted to focus explore...
Hi
I have been given an interdisciplinary assignment in physics and mathematics. The product of this impending project should be a paper of approximately 15-20 pages. My chosen subject is quantum mechanics. I would very much like your ideas and advice concerning the organization and the...
I've found my book again so no worries. There is one thing I have not yet fully understood, though. Why is it that you have to use the nuclear masses instead of the atomic masses in the calculation?
Great, thanks again. I was actually wondering why I hadn't accounted for the electrons.
I've lost my physics book and I haven't been able to find much information elsewhere on the web so your help is much appreciated.
All right, that was surprisingly easy. I found the energy threshold to be approximatly 0.236 MeV:
Q = -\Delta m\times c^{2} = (70.924954 u - 70.924701 u)\times931.494 \frac{MeV}{u} \approx 0.236 MeV
Thanks for the help.
Hi. I am curious about the following nuclear reaction:
\nu_{e} + ^{71}_{31}Ga \rightarrow ^{71}_{32}Ge + e^{-}.
Can anyone explain to me why this reaction has an energy threshold of approximatly 0.23 MeV? How does one calculate the minimum energy of the neutrino for this reaction to take...
