Abstract

The binding energy of the deuteron is calculated electromagnetically with the Schr&oumldinger equation. In mainstream nuclear physics, the only known Coulomb force is the repulsion between protons, inexistent in the deuteron. It is ignored that a proton attracts a neutron containing electric charges with no net charge and that the magnetic moments of the nucleons interact together significantly. A static equilibrium exists in the deuteron between the electrostatic attraction and the magnetic repulsion. The Heitler equation of the hydrogen atom has been adapted to its nucleus where the centrifugal force is replaced by the magnetic repulsive force, solved graphically, by trial and error, without fit to experiment. As by chance, one obtains, at the lowest horizontal inflection point, with a few percent precision, the experimental value of the deuteron binding energy. This success, never obtained elsewhere, proves the purely static and electromagnetic nature of the nuclear energy.

Highlights

  • The purpose of this paper is to calculate the binding energy of the simplest bound nucleus, the deuteron 2H, with only fundamental laws and associated constants

  • The dipole and polarizability formulas being invalid in a non-uniform electric field, the exact induced dipole formula has to be used here [10]

  • The following calculations will show that the magnetic repulsion equilibrates statically the electric attraction (Figure 1), giving the binding energy of the deuteron

Summary

Introduction

The purpose of this paper is to calculate the binding energy of the simplest bound nucleus, the deuteron 2H, with only fundamental laws (electromagnetics with Schrödinger equation) and associated constants. Mainstream nuclear physics is unable to obtain a single nuclear binding energy by applying fundamental laws and constants. The so-called “LQCD fundamental approaches”, with “ab initio predictions of observables”, have no quantitative fundamental laws, only phenomenological models, qualitative. After one century of nuclear physics, “it is an open secret that the underlying force remains a puzzle” [1]. The. How to cite this paper: Schaeffer, B.
