Abstract
AbstractNuclear physics deals with nucleons (neutrons and protons) within the atomic nucleus and the nature of the interaction between those nucleons that glue them together within the minuscule nuclear dimension of a few femtometer or 10\(^{-15}\) m. Piggybacked on some important experimental discoveries, nuclear physics emerged as a new and separate branch altogether different from atomic physics. In 1896, the discovery of radioactivity by Henry Becquerel, albeit an accidental one, is considered as initial breakthrough for the separate existence of the nuclear physics field [1], where the keen observation was made for the well-wrapped photographic plates which were blackened when placed near the uranium ores.
