Proton plus neutron is which state?


Recommended Posts

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

 

 

np --> n + P

or

D+--> n + P

 

Above reaction is possible?

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.

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.
