The nuclear particles are bound together by the strong nuclearforce . Weak nuclearforce s provide the potential energy for certain kinds of radioactive decay, such as beta decay . Nuclear particles like proton s and neutron s are not destroyed in nuclear fission fission and nuclear fusion fusion processes, but collections of them have less mass than if they were individually free, and this mass difference is liberated as heat and radiation in nuclear reactions the heat and radiation have the missing mass, but it often escapes from the system, where it is not measured . The energy from the Sun is an example of this form of energy conversion. In the Sun, the process of hydrogen fusion converts about 4 million tonnes of solar matter per second into electromagnetic energy , which is radiated into space.

It includes a large and non exhaustic number of physical quantities, like scattering and reaction cross section physics cross sections which can also be measured as functions of e.g. the energy and the angle , nuclear structure and nuclear decay parameters, etc. It can involve neutron s, proton s, deuteron s, alpha particle s, and virtually all isotope nuclear isotope s which can be handled in a laboratory . There are two major reasons to need high quality nuclear data theoretical model development of nuclear physics , and applications involving radiation and nuclear power . There is often an interplay between these two aspects, since applications often motivate research in particular theoretical fields, and theory can be used to predict quantities or phenomena which can lead to new or improved technological concepts.
