Geometric Model for Nuclear Structure 2 (original) (raw)
A model for nuclear structure is presented. With the model, we are able to compute J and parity, and it predicts (postdicts) these correctly for all isotopes. Also proved is that neutrons fill in the extra dimensions. It is also explained why the orbitals of the Shell Model has the k/2 (k an odd Natural Number) subscript that they have - something left unexplained by the Shell Model. The model explains the magic numbers for nuclei. B(5, 5) is shown to be exceptional and it is predicted it will behave like Li(3, 4). So is Fe(26, 31): it is predicted to act chemically like Cr(24, 29) except where mass enters the equation. Also: Co(27, 32) will act chemically like Fe(26, 28) except when mass comes into play. No coincidence that they share similar magnetic properties. It is a fact that Co was found together with Fe in the meteoric iron of Tuthankamen's dagger. It is seen that nucleons sometimes do not fill only the lowest energy orbitals. We compute the spin speed of H-1 using the experimentally obtained charge radius of the proton and use the speed to find a minimum radius for Li(3, 3) and use the Li(3, 3) radius to compute the radius of Li(3, 4) as 2*r_Li(3, 3) and test this value against the one obtained from L = mvr. The values are in fair agreement (they differ by 7 in the most significant digits). We can see people using our pictures to compute other values like quadrupole moments and binding energies. Our pictures show why the nuclear magnetic moment of Li(3 ,4) is larger than that of Li(3, 3).
