4. Binding Energy, the Semi-Empirical Liquid Drop Nuclear Model, and Mass Parabolas

MIT 22.01 Introduction to Nuclear Engineering and Ionizing Radiation, Fall 2016 Instructor: Michael Short View the complete course: https://ocw.mit.edu/22-01F16 YouTube Playlist:    • MIT 22.01 Introduction to Nuclear Eng...   We formally define the binding energy of a nucleus and check our definition with examples from the KAERI Table of Nuclides. We imagine that a nucleus is akin to a droplet of liquid, and construct a semi-empirical mass formula to predict its stability given any number of protons and neutrons. We then construct mass parabolas to explore which nucleus is most stable given a certain number of protons or neutrons. This helps us understand mathematically why certain isotopes undergo which types of radioactive decay, and why certain isotopes are stable.
