P1_3 Spinning a Deuteron to Pieces
Abstract
In this paper we calculate the angular velocity needed to overcome the binding energy holding
the nucleus of deuterium, or a deuteron, together. Thus, inducing nuclear fission by spinning
the nucleus. We find that the angular velocity we would need to induce in the nucleons would
be 9.64x10^21 rads^-1, causing the particles to spin at 1.36c, rendering this idea impossible in
deuterium.
