The nuclear potential energy betweenthe proton and the neutron in a deuteriumnucleus (a hydrogen nucleus with a neutron)has an average value of 2.224 MeV. By howmuch does this interaction change the mass ofthe combined system in MeV/c 2 and kg? Whatis this as a fraction of the combined mass of theproton and the neutron?
An important fusion reaction in both hydrogen bombs and controlled-fusion reactors is the “DT reaction,” in which a deuteron and a triton (nuclei of heavy hydrogen isotopes) combine to form an alpha particle and a neutron with the release of much energy. Use momentum conservation to explain why the neutron resulting from this reaction receives about 80% of the energy, while the alpha particle gets only about 20%.
