Nuclear periphery studied with antiprotonic atoms

Quantum Isomorphic Shell Model: Multi-Harmonic Shell Clustering of Nuclei

“…The value 0.11fm for 108 Sn in the table is estimated from the neutron rms radius 4.615 fm from [16] minus our point proton rms radius 4.50 fm. Finally, the value 0.55 fm in Table 4 for 208 Pb is estimated by employing the ratio of neutron radius/ proton radius equal to 1.07 ± 0.03 fm from [17] and our point proton rms radius 5.46 fm, i.e., 1.1*5.46 -5.46 = 0.55 fm. Other data somehow supporting our value 0.55 fm in Table 4 comes from [18] where the neutron radius is 6.7 fm, from [19] where this radius is 5.99 ± 0.10 fm, and from [20] where r n -r p = 0.33 ± 0.17 fm.…”
