    The document discusses logarithmic graphical analysis of protactinium-234m decay data. It defines key nuclear physics terms like mass deficit, which is the difference between a nucleus's measured mass and the sum of its constituent nucleons. Mass defect is an alternative term for mass deficit. Binding energy is the energy required to hold the nucleus together, converted from the mass deficit using E=mc^2. Fusion and fission are also defined, with fusion being the combination of small nuclides into larger nuclei with energy release, and fission being the breaking of larger nuclei into smaller ones with neutron and energy release. Dates from 2021 to 2019 are listed at the end.

    Logarithmic graphical analysis of protactinium-234m decay data.

    mass deficit - the difference between the measured mass of a nucleus and the sum total of the masses of its constituent
    nucleons

    mass defect - an alternative phrase for 'mass deficit'

    binding energy - the energy used to hold the nucleus together, converted from the mass deficit,
    following E = mc2. So, it is also the energy needed to break a nucleus apart into its individual nucleons

    fusion - small nuclides combine together to make larger nuclei, releasing energy

    Fission - larger nuclei are broken up into smaller nuclides, releasing energy nuclear fission a large
    nucleus breaks up into two smaller nuclei, with the release of some neutrons and energy
