Isotopes From Nucleon Clusters

[Rade]

I would like to start a discussion on the possibility of building isotopes of elements using clusters of nucleons that contain the proton [P] and neutron [N]. A few rules apply. Both matter and antimatter clusters are possible in theory. We will use the ^ symbol for antimatter, thus [P^] is the antimatter proton and [N^P^] is the anti-deuteron. Only nucleon clusters that do not violate laws of physics can be used, thus we can use the matter cluster [NP], which is the well known deuteron, however the cluster [PPPPP] is unknown and physically impossible. We will assume that no electrons are associated with any of the nucleon clusters since we are only interested at this time in strong force interactions. We will not at this stage discuss quarks, but will assume that all valid clusters can be described at the quark level of complexity. Finally, we will allow for deviations from the Standard Model of particle physics, since nucleons clusters are by definition outside the Standard Model, they represent a different model possibility.

 

To begin (and this is open to discussion) we shall allow the following nucleon clusters to be used to build isotopes of elements:

 

matter [NP] and antimatter [N^P^]...both bosons

matter [NPN] and antimatter [N^P^N^]...both fermions

matter [PNP] and antimatter [P^N^P^]...both fermions

matter [NN] and antimatter [N^N^]...both bosons

matter [PP] and antimatter [P^P^]...both bosons

 

Again, our goal is to construct all isotopes of elements of the universe (those experimentally known and not yet known) using only these 10 nucleon clusters.

 

Let us start with the most simple isotope known in the universe, and the most common, the 1-H-1 isotope of hydrogen. How can we build this isotope from nucleon clusters ? You may think this a strange and impossible question, but, consider this nucleon cluster configuration using two of the 10 allowed cluster configurations:

 

[PNP] + [^N^P] = 1-H-1

 

This cluster configuration is theoretically possible because the matter and antimatter masses are not identical (a 3 mass matter cluster state that is a fermion and a 2 mass antimatter state that is a boson) thus we cannot predict an annihilation reaction when the two clusters interact. On the contrary, it is more logical that they would be bound together by a boson (which of course would represent a new fundamental strong force). Next we must consider how the 5 mass units of the two clusters can result in a 1 mass unit structure realized to observation, the matter [P] nucleon from the [PNP] cluster ? One explanation (which is open to discussion) is that the [NP] part of the [PNP] cluster interacts with the antimatter [N^P^] cluster in such a way that this interaction occurs within a virtual dimension, what Paul Dirac called the 'proton sea'. Edit: see this link http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dirac_sea. So, the end result of this interaction become: [PNP]+ [N^P^] = [P]real + [NP]+[N^P^]virtual (within proton sea) = 1-H-1 real observed.

 

OK, now you know why this thread has been put into the strange claim forum, and I welcome any and all questions.

I see over 100 views to this thread and no replies. Are there any nuclear physicists out there that read this forum ?
