alpha2cen Posted August 1, 2012 Share Posted August 1, 2012 Which state a proton and a neutron exist in the nucleus of the deuterium ? Simply attached or another state? Are original shapes of particles maintained in the nucleus? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
perspectiva8 Posted August 4, 2012 Share Posted August 4, 2012 What is the shape of a particle? It's density function? If so, density functions are distorted. deuterium nucleus (whose specific name, if if exists I dont know) is another frame of states different from single particles I Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnStu Posted September 18, 2012 Share Posted September 18, 2012 Which state a proton and a neutron exist in the nucleus of the deuterium ? Simply attached or another state? Are original shapes of particles maintained in the nucleus? I had written a paper mentioning these questions. No one has been able to know.

Enthalpy Posted September 18, 2012 Share Posted September 18, 2012 Wouldn't for instance the deuteron's electric moment say a lot about its composition? Say, if the neutron and the proton share the charge, by exchanging an up for a down, the mean charge will be at the centre. But if the proton and the neutron are side-by-side, the electric centre will be offset from the mass centre. Even if both are delocalized to the entire nucleus, they should have different excitation states which absorb or emit a gamma during the transitions. What's the difficulty? Sorry, I understand very little about this subject. At least Wiki believes to know something about it: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deuterium#Nuclear_properties_.28the_deuteron.29 with detailed descriptions of states. But maybe Wiki doesn't describe the present knowledge, or knowledge evolves quickly in this field. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
