RADII AND BINDING ENERGIES OF NUCLEI IN THE ALPHA-CLUSTER MODEL

Abstract

The α-cluster model is based on two assumptions that the proton–neutron pair interactions are responsible for adherence between α-clusters and that the NN-interaction in the α-clusters is isospin independent. It allows one to estimate the Coulomb energy and the short range inter-cluster bond energy in dependence on the number of clusters. The charge radii are calculated from the number of α-clusters too. Unlike the Weizsäcker formula in this model the binding energies of alpha-clusters and excess neutrons are estimated separately. The calculated values are in a good agreement with the experimental data.
