1 Nucleon and Nuclear Angular Momentum

2 Nucleon Angular Momentum Inside the nucleus, each nucleon has -- –“Orbital” angular momentum –Spin angular momentum

3 Nucleon Angular Momentum Inside the nucleus, each nucleon has -- –“Orbital” angular momentum - z-axis projection –Spin angular momentum

4 Nucleon Angular Momentum Inside the nucleus, each nucleon has -- –Total angular momentum –Total angular momentum z-axis projection

5 Nucleon Wave Functions Individual nucleon wavefunctions -- Note the appropriate quantum numbers

6 Nucleon State Multiplicities Individual nucleon wavefunctions --

7 Nuclear Angular Momentum Total nuclear angular momentum is -- Nuclear angular momentum z-axis projection

8 Nuclear Angular Momentum Why is I always even for even-A nuclei? Why is I always odd for odd-A nuclei? –Hint: Consider the z-axis projections of the nucleons…

9 Nuclear Angular Momentum Total nuclear angular momentum is -- Nucear angular momentum z-axis projection
