Some early results from magnetic dipole energies at NUDAT3, E(PP) > E(NP) > E(NN)

Donnie Mason,

I an encouraged that some of the reactions are making sense and I am getting decent structures and reaction predictions.  I hope you can add nuclear magnetic moments.  I just posted a note online with a summary of some of it. That is at

Magnetic binding – atomic structures, isotope reaction energies, atomic fuels and hyper strong materials

I am doing a lot of the calculations “by hand” to check each step and assumption carefully.  Here are the order of magnitude.  This screens to see what more careful methods is needed. That section “Distance_picometer” shows the magnetic binding contribution for proton proton (PP), neutron neutron (NN) and neutron proton (NP) for a fixed distance (0.181575156 fm in this example).  Note that PP > NP > NN in every case for the same distance. In general terms that means NP pairs are more likely then NN pairs, but two things.

NN pairs can have large stable configurations without free protons. And PP pairs can have large stable configuration without neutrons. I am working out the conditions for z >> n  (number of protons much larger then number of neutrons).  [ It likely only happens inside neutron stars and heavier more dense stars (I think the black holes are simply dense, and not singularities) and some large “black holes” contain unconsolidated, independently orbiting black holes and neutron stars. The region is trapping light, but not singular. ]

These are the Codata values I am using. For the Internet as a whole, it is critical to have core data that is stable, accessible, verifiable, and traceable. When any changes are made that has to have a mechanism for global updates without requiring every group to update manually.
