11 Binding Energy, Fusion and Fission
12 Protons and neutrons can be combined into stable systems called Nuclei. Examples 6C = “Carbon 12” 14 it contains 6 proton and 6 neutron. 6C = “Carbon 14”, it contains 6 proton and 8 neutron. Nuclei having same Z, but different A are called Isotopes.
To form stable systems, proton and neutrons must be attracted to one another. Binding Energy Per Nucleon = EB/A vs mass number A The total energy of such a “bound” state must be lower than the total energy of the neutrons and protons when they are unbounded or far apart.
The difference between the bound and unbound configuration is called “Binding EB/A decreases with A for large A. This energy”. means that energy can be released by splitinga heavy nucleus into lighter When protons and neutrons combine, the fragments. This process of resulting binding energy is released in the fragmentation is called “FISSION” form of radiation. This process of combination is called “FUSION”.
12 Energetics of Fusion Process
• If you want to ram two positive charges together to within a distance = r, you have to supply the 2 following amount of energy to overcome the electrostatic repulsion: ECoulomb = kq /r. • In the Sun, this energy is supplied by the kinetic energy associated with the thermal motion at high -23 temperature. This energy is approximately Ethermal = KT (K = 1.38x10 J/degree) For fusion, you have to get within RANGE of nuclear force, -13 or rNucl ~ 10 m. So required 2 ECoulomb = kq /r = 8.99x109 (1.6x10-19)2/10-15 = 2.3x10-13 Joules In the Sun core, T ~ 15x106 K, So -23 6 -16 Ethermal = KT = 1.38x10 (15x10 ) = 2.1x10 Joules
We have an apparent paradox: Ecoulomb>> Ethermal . How do the particles ever get close enough to fuse? Answer: It's The Power Of Quantum Mechanics That “Quantum tunneling” Allows The Sun To Shine!
13 Protons and Neutrinos From Sun
• The fusion process produces photons (γ) and neutrinos (νe) with energies of around 1 MeV. • The photons interact intensely with all the charged particles (p, e, and ions) in the Sun. This process both degrades the photon energy and produces lets of new (low energy) photons. • So, the Sun emits large numbers of low energy photons from its surface. Typical energy: Eγ = hf = hc/λ =6.63x10-34 (3x108)/5.55x10-7 = 3.6x10-19 Joules = 2.3 eV • The neutrinos, on the other hand, have essentially no interaction in the Sun, and Eν ~ 1 MeV. • Solar neutrinos have been observed in the huge underground water-filled detectors used for search for proton decay.
14 Discovery of Solar Neutrino Homestake Solar Neutrino Observatory (1967-2001) 615 ton of tetrachloroethylene led by Raymond Davis Jr. (Shared the 2002 Nobel 30 Prize in Physics with M. Koshiba and R. Giacconi) ~ 2x10 chlorine atoms ν + 37Cl 37Ar + e- The first results appeared (1968): observed flux much lower than the theoretical expectation.

All ~30% of the predicted ones observed solar rate in this energy range was at about 50% of the SSM prediction, a discrepancy at the 5σ level. Missing solar neutrinos!!! 15 The Nobel Prize in Physics 2002
Raymond Davis Jr. Masatoshi Koshiba Riccardo Giacconi To Raymond Davis Jr. and Masatoshi Koshiba "for pioneering contributions to astrophysics, in particular for the detection of cosmic neutrinos" and to Riccardo Giacconi "for pioneering contributions to astrophysics, which have led to the discovery of cosmic X-ray sources". 16 Calculate Solar Neutrino Induced Event Rate Homework
An experiment in a gold mine in South Dakoda has been carried out to detect solar neutrinos, using 37 37 - the reaction ν + Cl Ar +e . The detector contained 615 ton of tetrachloroethylene (C2Cl4 ) ~ 2x1030 chlorine atoms. Estimate how many atoms of 37Ar per day would be produced, making the following assumptions: (a) solar constant = 8.8x1011 MeV cm-2 s-1; (b) 10% of thermonuclear energy of Sun appears in neutrinos, of mean energy 1 MeV; (c) 1% of all neutrinos are energetic enough to induce the above; (d) cross-section per 37Cl nucleus for “active” neutrinos is 10-45 cm2; (e) 37Cl isotopic abundance is 25%; -1 (f) density of C2Cl4 is 1.5 g ml .
(Hint, the event rate here can be calculated by R =σ φ N, where σ is the cross section per nucleus for neutrino absorption, φ is the neutrino flux and N is the total number of nuclei in the detector. You can take 8 164 as the molecular weight of C2Cl4, and the total mass of liquid as 6x10 g to obtain the total number of 37CL nuclei.)
17 Neutrino Oscillations
In the SM • Lepton numbers are conserved • Neutrinos are massless • Neutrino flavors do not oscillate
Neutrino oscillation means that neutrinos have zero masses; or finite mass of neutrinos imply that the neutrinos can oscillate SM is incomplete! There should be new physics that beyond the SM.

First results from 2001-2002: providing evidence for neutrino flavor conversion and showing that the total flux of 8B neutrinos was in agreement with the SSM. Final results from 2013
Theoretically expected 5.94 (1 ± 0.11) [SSM BPS08], or 5.58(1 ± 0.14) [SSM SHP11]
The flux of νµ and ντ deduced
deviating significantly from zero. A comparison with the total 8B flux clearly demonstrates that about two thirds of the solar νe changed flavor, arriving at Earth as νµ and ντ.

Vera Rubin (1928 – 2016) was an American astronomer who pioneered work on galaxy rotation rates. She uncovered the discrepancy between the predicted angular motion of galaxies and the observed motion, by studying galactic rotation curves
47 Dark Matter Halo
• Solar system moves in the galaxy (DM halo) with a speed of 220 km/s. Everyday we are in the dark matter shower, with 108? hitting our body every second.
48 Gravitation Lensing Basics
49 Gravitational Lensing
• Recall that a ray of light that grazes the Sun is bent gravitationally by q = 1.75 Arc Seconds. A light source placed at a large distance directly behind the Sun would appear as a “ring” of light.
Source Sun Observer
Image 𝜃𝜃
• Actually, the Sun is so bright, it would be essentially impossible to observe the faint image ring. However, bright distance source (quasars) that are gravitationally focused by intervening Galaxy clusters comprised primarily of dark matter are easily observed as multiple images, arcs, or rings… depending on the alignment of source, focusing system, and observer.

56 Dark Matter Particles – not in SM • Hot dark matter – non baryonic particles that move ultra relativistically, e.g. neutrino-like. • Warm dark matter – non baryonic particles that move relativistically, typified by sterile neutrinos that does not interact via any of the fundamental interactions of the SM except gravity. • Cold dark matter – non baryonic particles that move non- relativistically. • Analyses of structure formation in the Universe indicate that most DM should be “cold” or “cool”, i.e., should have been non-relativistic at the onset of galaxy formation.
57 Candidates for Cold DM Candidates for non-baryonic DM must • be stable on cosmological time scales (otherwise they would have decayed by now). • interact very weakly with electromagnetic radiation (otherwise they wouldn’t qualify as dark matter). • have the right relic density. Candidates include • primordial black holes • axions • sterile neutrinos • weakly interacting massive particles(WIMPs) Density of cold, non-baryonic matter from measurement: 2 ± Ωnbmh = 0.112 0.006 58 Weakly Interacting Massive Particle
