Abstract

After one century of nuclear physics, the underlying fun- damental laws of nuclear physics are still missing. Bohr had found a formula for the H atom and another for the H2 molecule but no equivalent formula exists for the deuteron 2H. The only known Coulomb interaction in a nucleus by the mainstream nuclear physics is the long range repulsion between protons, forgetting that the neutron contains elec- tric charges with no net charge. The neutron is attracted by the proton in a way discovered two millenaries ago by the Greeks. This attraction is equilibrated by the repulsion between the opposite magnetic moments of the proton and of the neutron in the deuteron. The bare application of ge- ometry together with electric and magnetic Coulomb’s in- teractions accounts for the binding energy of the deuteron, without fitting, with only 4 per cent discrepancy, proving the electromagnetic nature of the nuclear energy.

Highlights

  • In 1924 Bieler, of the Rutherford laboratory where the atomic nucleus was discovered, wrote:“as the angle increases, the ratio of the actual scattering to what would be expected on the inverse-square law diminishes rapidly

  • In spite of the discovery of the neutron magnetic moment and electric charges with no net charge, electric and magnetic interactions between nucleons are generally ignored in nuclear physics

  • The permanent dipole of an isolated neutron is negligible but an induced electric dipole may be created by induction from a nearby proton whose electric charge +e acts on the neutron electric charges with no net charge assumed to be +e and −e in a first approximation. rnp is the distance between the centers of the proton and the neutron. 2a is the separation distance between the assumed punctual positive and negative charges of the neutron as shown on figure 1

Summary

Introduction

In 1924 Bieler, of the Rutherford laboratory where the atomic nucleus was discovered, wrote:. “as the angle increases, the ratio of the actual scattering to what would be expected on the inverse-square law diminishes rapidly This suggests the existence of an attractive force at short distances from the nucleus”. In spite of the discovery of the neutron magnetic moment and electric charges with no net charge, electric and magnetic interactions between nucleons are generally ignored in nuclear physics. The proton attracts the neutron in the same way as amber (elektron) attracts light objects as was discovered by the Greeks. Static electric and magnetic Coulomb forces alone explain the binding energy of a nucleus without fitting as will be shown below for the deuteron. Different approximations are shown in this paper for the deuteron
