Quartet effects in the nuclear masses and excitations

  • Published:
Zeitschrift für Physik A Hadrons and nuclei

Abstract

The assumptions of the quartet model are given and it is shown that they are consistent with the fine structure of the nuclear mass curves throughout the table. It is also shown by an analysis of the nuclear masses that the quarteting effect accounts for 2/3 of the neutron binding energies. The consequences of the quartet picture for the existence of low-lying many particle-many hole states in medium and heavy nuclei are discussed.
