Problem For Structure of Nuclei -- Enigmatic !

Question :- calculate the distance of closest apprach for a head on collision between 5.30Mev alpha particle and nucleus of a copper atom?

Answer
The distance of closest
approach is given by

d= _______qQ_______
4*pie*e0*K base alpha

= ____________2*29*(1.60*10^-19C)^2_______
4*3.142*8.85*10^-12C^2/Nm^2*5.30MeV*1.60*10^-13J/MeV

= 1.4 * 10^ -6 aNSWER...

NOW I AM CONFUSED HERE ABOUT ONE THING AND ITS EATING ME ALIVE...FROM WHERE DID 1.60*10^-13J/MeV CAME ? I HAVE USED COLUMB'S LAW !
 
Physics news on Phys.org


its the conversion between MeV and joules. Both are energy units.

It's the fundamental charge, e, expressed in unusual units.
 

Thread 'Toponium Discovered'

Toponium is a hadron which is the bound state of a valance top quark and a valance antitop quark. Oversimplified presentations often state that top quarks don't form hadrons, because they decay to bottom quarks extremely rapidly after they are created, leaving no time to form a hadron. And, the vast majority of the time, this is true. But, the lifetime of a top quark is only an average lifetime. Sometimes it decays faster and sometimes it decays slower. In the highly improbable case that...

Thread 'Dirac-Delta from Normalization of Continuous Eigenfunctions'

I'm following this paper by Kitaev on SL(2,R) representations and I'm having a problem in the normalization of the continuous eigenfunctions (eqs. (67)-(70)), which satisfy \langle f_s | f_{s'} \rangle = \int_{0}^{1} \frac{2}{(1-u)^2} f_s(u)^* f_{s'}(u) \, du. \tag{67} The singular contribution of the integral arises at the endpoint u=1 of the integral, and in the limit u \to 1, the function f_s(u) takes on the form f_s(u) \approx a_s (1-u)^{1/2 + i s} + a_s^* (1-u)^{1/2 - i s}. \tag{70}...
