Category:Nuclear Structure
This category collects work on the structure of the atomic nucleus — how protons and neutrons are arranged, what binds them, and what accounts for nuclear spins, magic numbers, stability and decay.
The standard treatment is the quantum shell model, with the strong and weak nuclear forces mediated by gluons and W and Z bosons. The alternatives collected here generally attempt to dispense with the nuclear forces altogether, arguing that electric and magnetic forces alone suffice at nuclear scale once the finite size, shape and magnetic dipole of the constituents are taken into account — the magnetic near field not falling off as an inverse square at short range. Others treat the nucleus geometrically, deriving magic numbers from packing constraints rather than from shell occupancy rules.
Entries include geometric and packing models of the nucleus, electromagnetic accounts of binding, predictions of nuclide spins and decay rates, and models of nuclear reactions including those associated with Category:Cold Fusion. See also Category:Atomic Structure and Category:Particle Physics.
