The neutron separation energy is defined...

The neutron separation energy is defined as the energy required to remove a neutron from the nucleus. Obtain the neutron separation energies of the nuclei `"_20^41Ca ` and `"_13^27Al ` from the following data: m(`"_20^40Ca `) = 39.962591 u m(`"_20^41Ca `)= 40.962278 u m(`"_13^26Al`) = 25.986895 u m(`"_13^27Al ` ) = 26.981541 u
