The Structure of the Nucleus Checker Board Model by Theodore M. Lach
The Structure of the Nucleus Assumptions: The structure of the nucleus must be simple (belief that nature is inherently simple) Only the two quarks with like charge rotate in nucleons (assumption of this model, helps explain the magnetic moment of the neutron.) Frequency of rotation for proton and neutron are the same (assumption of this model) Spherical shape of nucleus is an apparent shape due to a flat structure viewed from all possible angles or precessing at a high rate of spin.
The Structure of the Nucleus Requirements: The structures must agree with the stability of known nuclei. The Nucleus must have a periodic structure to explain the “fuzzy” diffraction patterns. A nucleus may have more than one structure (isomer). The structure must be able to logically explain alpha, beta, and gamma decay.

Notice that the structure of Fe 68 (or Ti 58) is a repeating structure of 3 neutrons followed by 2 protons. The structure at the bottom of Fe 69 above would also explain the nuclei of Ne 29, Si 39, Zn 79, and Se 89. Similarly if the splitting occurred at both ends that would explain Zn 80 and Se 90. Also the Fe 68 structure would predict that Ar 48 will eventually be found.

Li 11 extends farther out than current models can explain. B 17, also believed to be a halo nuclei, fits this pattern. Reference: D.N. Poenaru and W. Greiner pg 139. and proceedings of ENAM 98.

BE( 3H) = mass(3 H) - me - mp - 2mn = 8.48183 Mev BE( 3He) = mass(3 He) - 2me - 2mp - mn = 7.71809 Mev BE( 3H) - BE(3 He) = .76374 Mev Coulomb energy in 3 He = D BE = .76374 Mev = 6e2/5Rc The Structure of the Nucleus It is generally accepted that the Binding energy difference between the mirror nuclei of 3 He and 3 H is due to Coulomb repulsion between the two protons. Blatt, Weisskoff, Theoretical Nuclear Physics,52,p 204 RC = separation distance between the two protons in 3 He. RC = 2.262 fm. If we assume the structure is linear, and the neutron is between the two protons and 1.1704523 times larger, we get rp = .5211 fm and r n = .6099 fm

This give a mass of the up quark of 463.8 mass electrons and the down quark of 99 mass electrons. This results in the up quark having a DeBroglie wavelength of 3.30 fm, which when divided by 2pcorresponds to a radius of .526 fm, which is 1% different than the .5211 fm initially estimated.
The Structure of the Nucleus • Iterating until the DeBrolie wavelength of the up quark in the proton exactly matches the radius of the proton we get: • Proton = 0.519406 X 10 -15 meters • Neutron = 0.6079394 X 10 -15 meters • 2 - Up Quarks in Proton = . 848123 speed of light • 2 - Down Quarks in Neutron = . 992685 speed of light • Up Quark mass = 464.41 electron masses • Down Quark mass = 82.958 electron masses • Period of Revolution = 1.283533x10-23 seconds Radius: Velocity: Mass:

Note that the linear extrapolation of the 3D model predicts a size of 1.23 fm for the proton, which is too big.

The Structure of the Nucleus Mass Mev -1 This model predicts that the Up quark will be heavier than the down quark. In the other two families the +2/3 quark is heavier than the -1/3 quark. The first generation now is similar to the others. The ratio of the mass ofthe Up quark to the down quark is about the same as the ratio of the Charm to the Strange.
