A SOLUTION TO THE 80 YEARS OLD PROBLEM OF THE NUCLEAR FORCE

Nuclear structure theory has recently undergone a renaissance, attributed to isotopic anomalies in chemical systems at energies well below the expected ~10 MeV nuclear level and surprising ab initio super-computer calculations of nuclear properties, under the assumption that nucleons have well-defined intranuclear positions (x≦2 fm). Considering a magnetic structure of nucleons consistent with classical physics, using the Biot-Savart law with carriers “in phase”, we have made connected lattice calculations of nuclear binding energies and magnetic moments, obtaining results comparable with other Copenhagen-style nuclear models
