(a) Describe the nuclear processes of alpha and beta decay, and
describe what parameter is increasing in the nucleus as a result of
these decays. [3] (b) Where a stationary neutron combines with a
proton to form a deuteron, a gamma ray of energy 2.2233 MeV is
emitted. The masses of the proton and the deuteron are 1.007276467
u and 2.013553212 u, respectively. Determine the mass of the
neutron, stating any laws used and defining variables. [4] (c)
