Principles of Nuclear Physics (NPE-503) : N K N P

This document is a problem set for a nuclear physics course. It contains 5 problems analyzing nuclear reactions and particle decays. Problem 1 asks students to identify which reactions violate conservation laws. Problem 2 asks students to analyze particle decays based on their quark content. Problem 3 asks students to do the same for additional decays. Problem 4 asks students to classify reactions as allowed or forbidden and identify the interaction type. Problem 5 asks students to explain why certain high energy reactions are not observed.

b) n 0

c) p
d) p 0

1. + p 0 + n
5. + + +
2. 0 + +
6. p+ p 0 +0
