  2. Nuclear shell model - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nuclear_shell_model

    A model derived from the nuclear shell model is the alpha particle model developed by Henry Margenau, Edward Teller, J. K. Pering, T. H. Skyrme, also sometimes called the Skyrme model. [ 8 ] [ 9 ] Note, however, that the Skyrme model is usually taken to be a model of the nucleon itself, as a "cloud" of mesons (pions), rather than as a model of ...

  3. Nilsson model - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nilsson_model

    The Nilsson model is a nuclear shell model treating the atomic nucleus as a deformed sphere. In 1953, the first experimental examples were found of rotational bands in nuclei, with their energy levels following the same J(J+1) pattern of energies as in rotating molecules.

  4. Magic number (physics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magic_number_(physics)

    In the shell model for the nucleus, magic numbers are the numbers of nucleons at which a shell is filled. For instance, the magic number 8 occurs when the 1s 1/2 , 1p 3/2 , 1p 1/2 energy levels are filled, as there is a large energy gap between the 1p 1/2 and the next highest 1d 5/2 energy levels.

  5. Valley of stability - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Valley_of_stability

    The nuclear force is not sufficiently strong to form either p-p or n-n bound states, or equivalently, the nuclear force does not form a potential well deep enough to bind these identical nucleons. [citation needed] Stable nuclides require approximately equal numbers of protons and neutrons.

  6. Angular momentum coupling - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Angular_momentum_coupling

    All nuclear levels whose ℓ value (orbital angular momentum) is greater than zero are thus split in the shell model to create states designated by ℓ + s and ℓ − s. Due to the nature of the shell model , which assumes an average potential rather than a central Coulombic potential, the nucleons that go into the ℓ + s and ℓ − s ...

  7. Woods–Saxon potential - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Woods–Saxon_potential

    Woods–Saxon potential for A = 50, relative to V 0 with a = 0.5 fm and =. The Woods–Saxon potential is a mean field potential for the nucleons (protons and neutrons) inside the atomic nucleus, which is used to describe approximately the forces applied on each nucleon, in the nuclear shell model for the structure of the nucleus.

  8. Shell model - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shell_model

    Shell model can mean: Nuclear shell model , how protons and neutrons are arranged in an atom nucleus Electron shell , how electrons are arranged in an atom or molecule

  9. Shell theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shell_theory

    The term shell theory may refer to: The shell theorem of fields and potentials due to a spherically symmetrical body; Part of the theory of plates and shells in continuum mechanics; The membrane theory of shells in continuum mechanics; The nuclear shell model in quantum mechanics
