Thanks, Mark This is an interesting way to model the nucleus.
I wonder if there are any simulation tools that approximate charged paricle collisions with nuclei (or atoms) that run on PCs rather than super-computers. Probably, the task is too computationally intensive, but maybe a moderately accurate simulation may be possible. If you know of any, let me know. -- Lou Pagnucco MarkI-ZeroPoint wrote: > Lou and DaveR: > You might want to take a look at this article: > " The atomic nucleus: fissile liquid or molecule of life?" > http://phys.org/news/2012-07-atomic-nucleus-fissile-liquid-molecule.html > > -Mark > > -----Original Message----- > From: pagnu...@htdconnect.com [mailto:pagnu...@htdconnect.com] > Sent: Monday, July 30, 2012 9:34 PM > To: vortex-l@eskimo.com > Subject: Re: [Vo]: Coupled Protons and Directional Stability > > David, > > Good questions. > (However, to make your posts more readable, I suggest limiting your text > lines to 75 characters, and using a paragraph format.) > > I believe that protons (or electrons) may move in coherent waves in > nanostructures (or beams) that are strongly coupled permitting single > particles to surmount much higher potential barriers than might be > expected if one assumes that the particle can only use its kinetic energy > to climb a potential hill - i.e., it behaves the same as in a vacuum. > > For example, I believe a single proton in the vacuum with velocity v, > e.g., > v > <--- p > > cannot surmount a barrier as high as the lead proton in a coherent, > coupled proton row, all moving at the same velocity (v), e.g., > v v v v v > <--- p <--- p <--- p <--- .... <--- p > > (A 3-dimensional funnel formation would deliver even more energy.) > > I am trying to work out some simple examples assuming just classical > physics, with densities and velocities attainable in nanowires. > It is not clear to me that this kind of analysis applies when translated > to quantum field theory, but at least it gives some hints about what may > be possible. > > I find it also interesting that axial collisions between proton and > electron pairs may be "head-on" collisions since magnetic and coulomb > forces will be 180 degrees opposite each other. > > Maybe, too, captures of inner (K-shell) electrons by protons in a nucleus > could be analyzed by classical physics as a cross check for whether > electron capture could be responsible for transmutations which may move > atoms downward toward smaller atomic numbers. > > -- Lou Pagnucco > > > David Roberson wrote: >> I asked the question in a previous post about thedirectional stability >> of a group of coupled protons but did not get sufficientresponse so I >> am attempting to rephrase.
