On the role of nuclear quantum gravity in understanding nuclear stability range of Z = 2 to 118

Abstract

To understand the mystery of final unification, in our earlier publications, we proposed two bold concepts: 1) There exist three atomic gravitational constants associated with electroweak, strong and electromagnetic interactions. 2) There exists a strong elementary charge in such a way that its squared ratio with normal elementary charge is close to reciprocal of the strong coupling constant. In this paper we propose that, ℏc can be considered as a compound physical constant associated with proton mass, electron mass and the three atomic gravitational constants. With these ideas, an attempt is made to understand nuclear stability and binding energy. In this new approach, with reference to our earlier introduced coefficients k = 0.00642 and f = 0.00189, nuclear binding energy can be fitted with four simple terms having one unique energy coefficient. The two coefficients can be addressed with powers of the strong coupling constant. Classifying nucleons as ‘free nucleons’ and ‘active nucleons’, nuclear binding energy and stability can be understood. Starting from , number of isotopes seems to increase from 2 to 16 at and then decreases to 1 at For Z >= 84, lower stability seems to be, Alower=(2.5 to 2.531)Z.

Is Newtonian gravitational constant a quantized constant of microscopic quantum gravity?

“…We propose the following three assumptions. For details, readers are encouraged to see our old and recent papers [6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14] and references therein.…”

Strong and weak interactions in Ghahramany’s integrated nuclear binding energy formula

“…In this context, Ghahramany and team members [5][6][7][8][9] developed a very simple nuclear binding energy formula based on quark-gluon plasma. For increasing its effectiveness towards isotopes, in this paper, we try to include strong and weak interaction features [10,11] in Ghahramany's integrated nuclear binding energy formula (GINBEF).…”

Is Newtonian gravitational constant – a quantized constant of microscopic quantum gravity?

“…Nuclear fine structure ratio can be defined as, Strong coupling constant can also be defined as, Nuclear binding energy can be understood with a common energy coefficient[6][7][8][9][10], Nuclear binding energy can be understood with the following formula[6][7][8][9][10], represents 'Free' or 'Unbound' nucleons.…”
