13.20 Calculate the height of the potential barrier for a head on collision

by the Coulomb repulsion between the two deuterons when they
just touch each other. Assume that they can be taken as hard
spheres of radius 2.0 fm.)
13.21 From the relation R = R,A”®, where R, is a constant and A is the
mass number of a nucleus, show that the nuclear matter density is
nearly constant (i.e. independent of A).
13.22 For the f" (positron) emission from a nucleus, there is another
competing process known as electron capture (electron from an inner
orbit, say, the K-shell, is captured by the nucleus and a neutrino is
emitted).

Show that if f* emission is energetically allowed, electron capture
is necessarily allowed but not vice-versa.
