D–3He fusion produces no neutron. In stable nuclei the possible lower energy states are all filled, meaning they are each occupied by two protons with spin up and spin down. My teacher told me that an atom consists of neutrons electrons and protons so i know why protons and electrons exist but can you tell me why the hell do neutrons exist. Radiation therapy of cancers is based upon the biological response of cells to ionizing radiation. Simplistically, the magnetic moment of the neutron can be viewed as resulting from the vector sum of the three quark magnetic moments, plus the orbital magnetic moments caused by the movement of the three charged quarks within the neutron. Natural neutron background. the neutron spin must be also fractional (½ ħ). [13] The extreme pressure inside a neutron star may deform the neutrons into a cubic symmetry, allowing tighter packing of neutrons.
