Collapsed Nuclei

Bodmer, A. R.·1971·Physical Review D

Abstract

We discuss the observational consistency, possible properties, and detection of collapsed nuclei ${C}_{A}$. These may be considered as elementary particles with mass number $A>1$ and of much smaller radius than ordinary nuclei ${N}_{A}$. The existence of ${C}_{A}$ of (perhaps much) lower energy than ${N}_{A}$ is observationally consistent if ${N}_{A}$ are very long-lived isomers against collapse because of a "saturation" barrier between ${C}_{A}$ and ${N}_{A}$. Barrier-penetrability estimates show that sufficiently long lifetimes $\ensuremath{\gtrsim}{10}^{31}$ sec are plausible for $A\ensuremath{\gtrsim}16\ensuremath{-}40$. The properties of ${C}_{A}$ are discussed using composite baryon and quark models; small charges and hypercharges and, especially, neutral ${C}_{A}$ are possible. ${C}_{A}$ can be effectively a source or sink of baryons. Some astrophysical implications are briefly discussed, in particular the possible large scale presence of ${C}_{A}$ and the possibility that accelerated collapse in massive objects may be a source of energy comparable to the rest mass.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
