as a Model of Nuclear Structure (2008) [Updated 7 years ago]
A finite dimensional model for the electron and proton has been used to compute nuclear properties
such as: structure, binding energies, energies and rates of decay of radioactive isotopes.Computations were conducted within the frame of classical electromagnetic interactions between
toroidal electrons and protons of finite, fixed dimensions. Positions and orientations of each particle
were allowed to vary using the variational method, until the minimum energy configuration was
attained.Nucleon shell structures were found to build from outer levels toward inner ones, with occupancies
following the magic numbers so well known in nuclear physics. Neutrons were found to be formed
via toroidal protons binding electronically and magnetically within toroidal electrons, which are
significantly larger than the former.Details are presented for 40K as a model test case. Additional results are provided for several select
radio nuclides having a diversity of nuclear structures. These calculations, although admittedly of
questionable accuracy, do none the less appear to yield results which are in some 90% agreement
with the experimental values, over the very limited number of examples tested. - A Computational Model for Nuclear Binding and Isotopic Decay Energies (2000) [Updated 1 decade ago]
