  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. Island of stability - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Island_of_stability

    This theory of a nuclear shell model originates in the 1930s, but it was not until 1949 that German physicists Maria Goeppert Mayer and Johannes Hans Daniel Jensen et al. independently devised the correct formulation. [26] The numbers of nucleons for which shells are filled are called magic numbers. Magic numbers of 2, 8, 20, 28, 50, 82 and 126 ...

  6. 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.

  7. 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 ...

  8. Pandya theorem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pandya_theorem

    The shell-model Hamiltonian is usually written in the p-p representation, but it also can be transformed to the p-h representation by means of the Pandya transformation. This means that the high- J interaction between pairs can translate into the low- J interaction in the p-h channel.

  9. 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
