Consideration on a Nuclear Binding Energy Formula

Abstract

In this paper the authors will consider a simple nuclear binding energy formula in which nuclear binding energy is proportional to A²/N with an energy constant of 2.4 MeV. If A_s is the stable mass number of Z, it is noticed that A_s – 2Z = (Z/4p)². With 2.4 MeV, it is also possible to show that nuclear charge radii are close to [(Z + 2)^1/3 + [(Z + 2)^1/3](0.6fm).
