NUCLEAR PHYSICS: FROM SUBATOMIC PARTICLES TO NUCLEAR REACTIONS
N. Kumar Swamy,N. Kumar Swamy
Abstract
This paper provides a comprehensive overview of nuclear physics, covering topics from subatomic
particles to nuclear reactions. The paper begins with an exploration of the background and importance
of nuclear physics in science and technology, highlighting key research findings. It then delves into the
properties and roles of subatomic particles, including protons, neutrons, electrons, quarks, and leptons.
The composition of atomic nuclei, nuclear forces, and binding energy are discussed in detail, along with
their implications for nuclear stability and decay. The paper also examines different types of nuclear
reactions, such as fusion, fission, and radioactive decay, and their applications in energy generation and
medicine. Experimental techniques in nuclear physics, including particle accelerators and detectors, are
reviewed, showcasing their role in advancing our understanding of nuclear phenomena. Current
research in nuclear astrophysics and high-energy physics is explored, highlighting recent advancements
and future directions. The paper concludes with a reflection on the significance of nuclear physics in
advancing scientific knowledge and technological innovation.
