1Nuclear structure — Physics portal This page is an adapted translation of the corresponding fr:Structure nucléaire As will be noted, there remain void paragraphs, as on the original (which provides no sources). Competent Wikipedians are welcom …
2Nuclear binding energy — is the energy required to split a nucleus of an atom into its component parts. The component parts are neutrons and protons, which are collectively called nucleons. If the binding energy for the products is higher when light nuclei fuse, or when… …
3nuclear physics — nuclear physicist. the branch of physics that deals with the behavior, structure, and component parts of atomic nuclei. [1930 35] * * * Branch of physics dealing with the structure of the atomic nucleus and radiation from unstable nuclei. A… …
4Nuclear transmutation — is the conversion of one chemical element or isotope into another. In other words, atoms of one element can be changed into atoms of other element by transmutation . This occurs either through nuclear reactions (in which an outside particle… …
5Nuclear orientation — Nuclear orientation, in nuclear physics, is the directional ordering of an assembly of nuclear spins with respect to some axis in space.[1][2] A nuclear level with spin in a magnetic field will divide into magnetic sub levels with an energy… …
6Nuclear astrophysics — is an interdisciplinary branch of physics involving close collaboration among researchers in various subfields of nuclear physics and astrophysics, with significant emphasis in areas such as stellar modeling, measurement and theoretical… …
7Nuclear data — groups all experimental data relevant for nuclear physics and nuclear applications. It includes a large and non exhaustic number of physical quantities, like scattering and reaction cross sections (which can also be measured as functions of e.g.… …
8nuclear fission — fission (def. 2). [1885 90] * * * Division of a heavy atomic nucleus into two fragments of roughly equal mass, accompanied by the release of a large amount of energy, the binding energy of the subatomic particles. The energy released in the… …
9Structure nucléaire — La connaissance de la structure des noyaux atomiques, ou structure nucléaire est un des chapitres clés de la physique nucléaire. Compte tenu de son importance, on en a fait un article séparé, et on consultera avec profit l’article physique… …
10Nuclear drip line — In nuclear physics, the boundaries for nuclear particle stability are conceptualized as drip lines. The nuclear landscape is understood by plotting boxes, each of which represents a unique nuclear species, on a graph with the number of neutrons… …
