A neutron (udd) decays to a proton (uud), an electron,
and an antineutrino. .... IOW, the beta decay lets the
neutron "reincarnate" as a stable set of a proton and
an electron and an a-nu plus the respective kinetic
energies.

What is it in the character of the proton that prevents
this decay under certain circumstances?

neutron/proton combo half-lives
n 10 min
n + p = H stable
2n + p = D stable
3n + p = T 12.5 years

Why isn't there a linear half-life correlation for
the proton loading/association with neutrons?

Why/how does only one or 2 protons stabilize the n?

What is the reason for the "p-stabilization" of
neutron plateau to fail/fall on either side?

We see the same narrow band of elements stability
of n = p +/- a few n's throughout the periodic table.

What is the cause of the almost 1:1 p/n relation ship
that is necessary to produce stable elements?

Lowest energy levels of the configurations are the most stable? IOW, a
free neutron decays to a proton because it has enough excess energy to
allow the decay products. A neutron-proton pair is more stable than a
proton-proton pair or neutron-neutron pair for the same reasons.
Roughly.

Did you expect the retards to show up after you asked these?

It looks like the nucleic blob wants tetrahedra, in line with hexagonal
close packing or face-centric cubic in atomic or orangeic lattices.
Unalike quarks topull, and down is heavier than up:

I wish we could use the Roman letters bdpq to more mechanic
advantage... Movie critics could.

The quarks are complementary of course. Nuclei like pn in 1D and pnpn
in 3D. nn and nnnn make 1D and 3D halos. I had a theory on this:

I have a physical model of atoms which are part of my theory of
everything which can be found at:

http://www.geocities.com/franklinhu/theory.html

In particular is the cubic atomic model which can be found at:

http://www.geocities.com/franklinhu/atmpics2.html

This physical model may explain the behavior of neutrons. I believe
that neutrons are not stable because space is effectively made up of a
crystal lattice of neutrons locked together like a box of sugar cubes.
If you try to shove another cube into the box, it just doesn't fit and
large pressures are placed upon any extra cube which eventually grind
it up and cause it to decompose into it's component proton/electron.
Another possiblity is that the neutron is simply absorbed into the
crystal matrix if it finds room. The generation of the anti-neutrino
may be the result of the decomposed neutron taking up less space than
the free neutron. A free neutron may take up 3 units of space, while a
proton/electron pair take up only 2 units. This leaves 1 unit empty
which is effectively an empty cube in a box of sugar cubes.

I have been working with this model to show that neutrons need to act
as the glue to keep free protons and electrons together. The neutrons
act very much like a proton/electron pair and attract a free
proton/electron to the neutron's dipole. This explains the stability of
H since it effectively forms a square arrangement which is stronger
than just a free neutron and can resist the pressures of fitting into
the crystal neutron matrix. D is also stable because this corresponds
to a balanced situation where neutrons can be fitted against the same
proton/electron pair (N-P-N). T is not stable because the 3rd neutron
cannot be in a linear arrangement with the proton/electron pair and
must attach somewhere in the middle. This is unbalanced and is not
stable.
N-P-N
|
N

The 1:1 ratio is required to form stable square and cube structures. My
newer models show that the maximum number of neutrons which can be
attached to any given atom is restricted by the number of spaces in the
atom's matrix that can be filled in by neutrons. In the pictures, you
can see the atoms form stair step like shapes. Neutrons can only fit
into these stairs steps. Once they are filled, that is the maximum the
atom can carry. Stability depends on how symettric the arrangement of
extra neutrons are. I hope to update my web site showing how this works
very closely for elements up to neon.

It's a good question and basically amounts to the same question as, why
does a neutron decay by itself and not in an atomic nucleus? And a
teasing answer would be, well, it *does* decay in some nuclei -- in
beta decay. And so this points to the follow-up question, well, (1)
what does the nucleus have to do with it, and (2) what's different
about one nucleus as opposed to the other? The answers to *both* those
questions are crucial.

The answer to (1) is that the neutron does not behave independently of
the other nucleons, which is what would give rise to the linear
behavior you expected. Ask yourself what the final state would be if
the neutron did decay in tritium -- you'd end up with a helium isotope
He-3 that is relatively rare. Why is it rare? Because the *combination*
of nucleons is energetically disfavored. And now ask yourself if the
energy liberated by neutron decay is enough to gain access to that
higher-energy combination.

The comparison between the energies of the initial and final nuclear
states, and whether the neutron decay provides access to that
difference, is the answer to (2).

that even GR says so in its terminology that radius is just R
and not infinite as shown here in the concatenated form of the
cosmological skeleton of/for the visible universe which states
in a beautiful 1/(2,3,4) power chain that says:
:::: c = (G*M/R)^(1/2) = (G*M*H)^(1/3) = (G*M*br)^(1/4) :::
wherein
c= lightspeed, G= Newton, M= total mass in a sphere of R,
H= 1/Travel time from any center to R at the speed of c and
br = the deceleration (or = the curvature of space in SR/GR

Plug in the numbers, use the Hubble value for H, and then
see for instance the Pioneer 11 anomaly thru' effects of [br].
Check it out. It's fun to see how elegantly things line up.

Smell of [4]? Sheesh hanson, it is exactly [4]! But you just said in
"words". But maybe you didn't quite ask the right question? Why
doesn't a free proton decay? Because it all hinges on that since it is
the lowest energy level for a nucleon. My take... Because a proton has
a triple quark configuration, it can't return to the quantum "vacuum"
unless it meets an anti-proton. Then it will decay. All its quarks
will have necessary decay partners that are necessary. Particles in or
out of the quantum "vacuum" always have to happen in pairs unless there
is a weak transformation.

See my thread about neutrino caused beta decay in sci.physics.particle.
Physically both
n -> p+e+anti nu
and
n+nu ->p+e
are possible. Experiments can tell the difference. Try to find articles
on measurements of beta decay. I have only found
Experimental Investigations of Changes in ß-Decay Rate of 60Co
and 137Cs
by Baurov et al
http://www.worldscinet.com/mpla/16/1632/S0217732301005187.html
which I think support the latter reaction since there are variations in
the decay rate which could be explained by variations in neutrino flow.
There is also a correlation to the speed of earth which would imply a
doppler shift on the neutrino energies or neutrino waves depending on
how you see it. The latter reaction also has a more natural and
probable distribution of the neutrino energies. (The authors explain
the effect with the vector potential.)

We have been taught for 70 years or so about the nature of beta decay
being a process with a fixed decay rate. I just assume that there are
measurements confirming this but I have yet not found any. Can you find
anything?

Your table is messed up.

Neutrons have a half life about 15 minutes.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neutron

Ordinary Hydrogen is a single proton, no neutron.

The Deuteron, usually the symbol D, is one neutron and one proton.
A Tritium nucleus, usual symbol T, is two neutrons and one proton.
D's are stable. T's have a half life to Beta decay of about 12.3 years.

I don't know what three neutrons and a proton is called, but I'd expect
it to be pretty unstable. It's not labled "T."

See this link at the title "Notable Isotopes."
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydrogen

> Why isn't there a linear half-life correlation for

Why should there be? Lots of things are not linear.

> Why/how does only one or 2 protons stabilize the n?

If a deuteron were to decay through beta decay, it would
become a p + p. So, check out the energies of the start
and finish states, then explain why it does not happen.

> What is the reason for the "p-stabilization" of
> neutron plateau to fail/fall on either side?

It's to do with what energy levels are available and how
they are filled. For Beta decay to work, the end result
has to be lower energy so the decay products can have
some energy to leave with. If you pile rocks at the bottom
of a hole, they won't spontaneously roll away. If you pile
them at the top of a hill, they might.

Well, actually, the number of neutrons rises as you
go up through the periodic table. By the time you get
to lead, you've got 82 protons and, depending on the
isotope, 123, 124, or 125 neutrons. Plus, the higher
you go in the periodic table, the less likely you are to
be able to find any ratio that is stable, though the
half lives can be pretty long.

You are right.!!!! Sock, Thanks. (never mind the times).
You are keen observer, Sock. I am surprised that no one
caught the error at the outset. It should have read as you
correctly stated:

>> neutron/proton combo half-lives
>> n ~10 min
>> n + p = D stable
>> 2n + p = T ~12.5 years

... and now let me express it in a ***ratio form**
so that EACH neutron has a proton share of [A]
n + 0 p = (n) ~10 min
n + 1/2 p = (T) ~ 12.5 years
n + 1 p = (D) stable
to _illustrate_ how the p/n ratio influences longevity
(I don't mean fractional particles)

Why does the "linear" addition of p's to n's
give such a highly variable unexpected half-lives?
Add 1/2 to 1 proton-share to each n and n becomes
more stable. Make clumps of such arrangements and.....

Right, but "WHY" ... what you said is textbook stuff.
But I like to hear NEW stuff. Wild & crazy. Gimme a new
story, a new angle why when that 82p/125n is around
the stabilty tends towards stable. That ratio: 82p/125n =~
2/3 proton shares per neutron. (this is what I tried to
convey in the messed up table). Now, fit that into table [A]..
and tell me where/what the neutron's property is that makes
it stable in that range, clumping and all ... and dream....
...... like the quark concept that occurred to the originator
when he looked at a slot machine in Vegas. That was coo
l and original. Be cool and original too. Find some such
**"it's like"**. They are all over. Nature is self-similar
over all domains and realms. ... And while you are at it ask
yourself "why is nature self-similar", why is it a gigantic heap
of "it's like". The answer to that brings you a GUT and a TOE...

Great observation! I just had a brainstorm about this. My own theories
indicate that the charge carriers for the postitive and negative charge
actually have the same mass and characteristics, but that we always see
a proton as the positive carrier (call it p!) with a neutron. This
means that even hydrogen always has a neutron associated with it.

A neutron n is a combination of just the postive/negative carriers (p!
e)
A proton p is a combination of neutron & postive carrier p! (p! e)
A neutrino nu is just a fast moving neutral aether particle (p! e)

If we plug this into your equation:
(p! e) neutron + (p! e) neutrino -> (p! p! e) proton + e

So the combination of neutron and neutrino is really the combination of
2 nearly identical neutral particles to produce a composite proton and
free electron. I think this explains the anti-neutrino and conservation
of particles in beta decay. If we can show that beta decay rates change
in the presence of a neutrino beam, we'd have confirmation.

Really? Where?

You might be surprised to know that we can tell the difference between
isotopes with spectroscopy. You might even be surprised to know that
hydrogen with a neutron in it is measurably different in "heavy water"
than in regular water.

Look up "Gribov's vacuum". Basically the Coulomb field of the nucleus
gets to be so great that e+e- pairs are created from the vacuum in the
vicinity of the nucleus causing instability. The extra neutrons are
needed to "spread out" the Coulomb field so that it is not so intense at
any particular point.

To make it clear - the proton ALWAYS contains a neutron INSIDE of it.
To distinguish the postive charge carrier particle from the proton,
lets call it a "Postron". A proton is a combination of postron +
neutron. The mass of a prostron is equal to the mass of an electron. If
true, then we may be mistaking the postron as the anti-electron. This
also explains why the mass of a neutron is so close to the mass of a
proton. In this case, there are no quarks carrying 1/3 charges, just
postron & electron combinations.

I'd like to hear what you know that would rule out a proton as being a
composite neutron + postron.

IMO, the Pioneer anomaly and the so-called invisible dark matter are
secondary artifacts of the motion of radiating photons. Ultimately, it
has to do with energy conservation. As huge numbers of photons move
about, energy is often borrowed and has to be repaid. The repayment
takes the form of increased gravitational pull and red shifting. The
Big Bang theory is on shaky grounds because it uses red shifting as a
barometer for expansion, not taking into account that that light
shifts automatically to the red as it moves over huge distances.

OK. You asked in your original post:

>Why/how does only one or 2 protons stabilize the n?

In my opinion, the neutron is not really stabilized by the presence of
the protons in the nucleus. I strongly suspect that it constantly
decays but the decay products are immediately reabsorbed so as to
reconstitute the original neutron. This happens at such minute
distances that we cannot (yet) detect the interactions. In fact, I
would go so far as to suppose that an isolated proton continually
decays as well but is reabsorbed, giving the illusion of long term
stability.

Having said that, I must add that I do have problems with the quark
hypothesis and the concept of fractional charges. My current
hypothesis is that there really is a single charge but it moves about
among the constituent particles. It's like having multiple neutral
particles sharing the same charge property giving the appearance of
fractional charges. But that's another story for another time.

novel by itself, because something like that is successfully used
in QM: Dirac's virtual pop-in/out charge sea and the non locality
of electron clouds, as opposed to the Bohr model. But perhaps

1. Experiments indicate three, very small, identical, strongly
interacting, scattering centers inside the proton.
2. Protons never decay into neutrons and positrons. Never.
3. The mass of the neutron is larger than the mass of the proton.

It's always a good idea to bone up on the experimental facts before
putting together a theory. A theory based on one or two facts is not
likely to also match thirty or forty known facts. I suggest a book by
Donald Perkins.

Relativists ass kissers will disagree. They'll say that your question

Well "how come?" is essentially the same as "why?". Relativists will
claim that they answer the how of gravity with the equations of GR and
that the why has to do with metaphysics or philosophy, not science.

Beta decay:
n(+ -) --> p(+) + e(-) + ~(0) where ~ is a neutrino
The charge neutral of the neutron is because it consists of both a
proton
and electron, so the charges neutralize each other.

The neutrino *of the neutron* is the binding energy.
We have spin parity: 1/2 before the reaction and 3/2 afterward (as the
neutrino has a half spin).

We also have charge parity as the neutrino has no charge.

Note, the mass of the binding energy is the difference in mass between
the neutron and the combined mass of the electron and proton.
This mass is 1.3891 x 10^-27 gr -- and this times c^2 is 1.24866 x
10^-6 erg
or .78 MeV -- the energy known to accompany this reaction.

Note, the mass remaining after the release of the proton is enough
mass to form *two* electrons. The reason that does
not happen is because it would violate charge parity.

So after the electron is formed, the remaining mass, 1.38909 x 10^-27
gr
has nowhere to go charge parity-wise and so goes flying off into space.


Question: If the neutrino is the left over after the proton and
electron are
released, it must have a negative spin also. Why, then, is the neutrino
charge
neutral and not negative?

Answer: We can assume the neutrino is not a bound particle but composed

of scattered sub-particles, traveling in the same direction but
disassociated
enough so as not to register a charge -- though the spin is there.

To enhance this view, we note there is no binding energy within the
neutrino.
As an addendum to this scenario, there have been experiments that
show -- approaching a neutron's exterior there is first detected a
negative
charge, and then as the probe goes further, the negative charge changes

to positive.

Question: If that is so, then we have a proton surrounded by an
electron.
Why, then, do we not have an hydrogen atom?

Answer: because of the binding force that is the neutrino when
released.
This binding force keeps the electron in close proximity to the proton.

Note. We see here why a *free* neutrino decays when in the free state.
When associated with a proton there is an interaction that supplies
stability
When that is missing, the binding force is insufficient to hold the
neutron
together so it breaks up (decays).

Also, we see why the heavier elements are unstable. They have an excess

of neutrons and there are not enough protons to maintain the stable
neutron/proton interaction, so radioactive decay sets in.
............................
As an aside, can anyone tell me why the charge on the electron and the
proton are equal (though opposite) despite their huge disparity in
mass?

Read the old article in /Popular Science/ about the surreal numbers,
how to construct any rational or irrational number from a series of ups
and downs (hmm, how kithly).

1 = u
.5 = ud
.25 = udd
...
.75 = udu
.875 = uduu
...
.625 = udud
.6925 = ududu
.65875 = ududud
.'6' = 'ud'
...
.375 = uddu
.3075 = uddud
.34125 = uddudu
.'3' = ud'du'

So halving of halves will easily and straihtly get 2/3. It works, so
it must be true.

See my other post on this thread which indicates that a the particle
that carries the positive charge (a postron or protron - not a
positron) is indeed identical in mass to an electron. What we normally
consider a proton is actually a combination of a neutron and a postron.
Thus, a proton has such a huge mass becuase it has a neutron inside of
it. What we normally consider positrons are actually the positive
charge carriers. Evidence for this is in the form of B+ decay where a
proton does indeed decay into a positron and a neutron within a
nucleus. We are just biased into thinking the proton is the opposite of
the electron, but in reality, the positron is the true opposite of the
electron. We know the positron exists, but it apparently cannot exist
on its own since it would immediately react wth an electron to probably
form a neutron or an aether particle which dissappears into the space
matrix according to my other theories. But a positron can apparently
exist in a stable form when combined with a neutron.

This would be consistent with my model of a proton consisting of 3
subparticles (postron, postron, electron). The real question is if
experiments show that neutrons are made up of 3 centers, or only 2 (as
my model would predict). There are experiments to suggest that a
neutron has a negative outer shell and a positive inner core, which
would only indicate 2 components.

If you look at what B+ decay is, this indeed looks like a proton
decaying into a positron and a neutron. Exactly what you'd expect if a
proton is made up a positron (really a postron) and neutron.

> 3. The mass of the neutron is larger than the mass of the proton.

Not always. If you look at the difference in mass between He3 and He4,
there is only a difference of .98 amu. This is much smaller than the
standard value for a neutron which is about 1.008 amu. Strangely
enough, the weight of a neutron can vary quite a bit if you determine
the mass of the neutron by comparing atoms which only differ by a
single neutron. In my TOE, the mass of the object is proportional to
the size or volume it occupies. The variable mass of the neutron could
be explained by a variable amount of distance between the electron and
postron that form the neutron depending on the binding configuration.

Indeed, everything you cite as a counter-example actually appears to
support my model better than the existing quark based theory. It also
does so in a much simpler manner. No need to have 1/3 charge carriers.
It appears that the only reason why this was invented was so that the
charge math would work out, but I'd say there's more evidence that
neutrons are made up of only two subparticles than 3. The main reason
why science hasn't been able to find the quark is probably because they
don't exist. On the other hand, we have found the positron, neutron and
electron.

Yes, there are experiments that show three scattering centers in
neutrons as well. See "deep inelastic scattering" in hydrogen and
deuterium.

Except a proton is not a B+. It doesn't have the same mass, it doesn't
have the same lifetime, etc, etc.

You make the mistake of assuming that the mass of a nucleus should be
the sum of the masses of the neutrons and protons. That assumption is
poor because it neglects the energy required to bind them together. In
the same way, a molecule's mass is not the sum of the masses of the
atoms that make it up (though for most purposes in chemistry, that sum
is close enough). It simply isn't true that the mass of the total is
the sum of the masses of the parts -- assuming that it would be would
be assuming a conservation law that doesn't exist.

You might be interested to compare the masses of isotopes that differ
not only by one in A, but also differ by one in Z. Here, the difference
is one *proton*, not one neutron. You'll find it interesting that the
difference in mass is not the mass of a proton, either.

Actually, no, the opposite was true. Deep-inelastic scattering found
the scattering centers inside nucleons independently and they were
called "partons" and studied as partons, not quarks. Separately, the
notion of quarks was developed. It was only a while later that partons
were identified as quarks. So there was nothing done to "make the math
work out". Something interesting was found experimentally, and quite
independently, there was reason to suspect quark-like objects, and it
so happened that quarks worked well to describe partons.

We *have* found quarks. They generate well-collimated jets of particles
in collider experiments all the time. Nothing but quarks and gluons
could create those jets, and the distributions of angle, energy, and
compositions of those jets are *precisely* what you would expect to see
if they were created by quarks.

I looked on the web and came up with one paper on this exact topic. It
did not specifically indicate that it found 3 scattering centers for
neutrons. In fact, it went on to explain how difficult it was to
determine the structure of the neutron when it was bound with a proton
in deuterium. I didn't find anything else to indicate 3 scattering
centers, do you have any references?

I don't mean a B+ (positron) is a proton. I mean look at the B+ DECAY
process in which a proton within a nucleus decays into a neutron and a
positron and it changes the Z of the nucleus. You said that protons
never decay into a neutron/positron, but they do!

My point is that you make the same mistake of assuming that you can
just add up the mass of the components to get the mass of the composite
object. You say that a proton cannot be a combination of neutron and
positron because a neutron is more massive than a proton. You're
expecting to be able to add up the masses of a neutron and positrion to
get something heavier than a neutron, but as you noted, you cannot do
that. So a proton can easily be less massive than a neutron, even if it
is made up of more components.

OK, but certainly, they have never been directly found experimentally.
Nobody says they've seen an isolated quark. Just that the figure that
they can never be seen separately. (how convenient) - or they just
simply don't exist.

I have only begun to research this area, but all this fractional
charges seem totally unncecessary. Every particle combination that I've
looked at so far is a simple combination of full charge positron and
electrons. Can you cite a particle that would specifically require the
1/3 charge fractions?

Try seaching on DIS neutron. DIS for "deep inelastic scattering". What
was the paper you are reffering to above? It gets complicated the way
they mathematically obtained the three predominant "scattering centers".
An inexpensive reference that is fairly easy to follow is "The Ideas of
Particle Physics" by Coughlan and Dodd. When they first did the
experiments at SLAC, Feynman was insistent that they use the term
"parton" and not quarks so as to not bias the experiments. ;-)

Free protons never decay that way. But look up "Gribov's Vacuum" for
more on what could happen in heavy nuclei.

It is much more complicated than this. I suggest you get Griffiths'
"Introduction to Elementary Particles" and study it.

Nobody has actually ever seen a neutrino either, but we can see what
they do by their interactions with other fermions. IMHO, a free quark
would just be a lepton. Or... quarks are leptons that have becomed
"confined" in a different way than leptons are "confined" (this is
assuming a string theory type of conjecture that there is a simple
fundamental entity that makes all "particles").

The paper I found is:

http://dissertations.ub.rug.nl/faculties/science/2002/j.visser/

Still didn't find any interesting topics using DIS. I suspect that
studying independent neutrons is much more difficult than studying
protons - is there really any direct evidence for 3 scattering centers
in independent neutrons? I doubt it.

Of course, protons don't decay by themselves, but within heavy nuclei,
it does look like protons decay into a neutron/positron and that is my
point. That they don't decay spontaneously as free protons is not
relevant.

Yes, it is very much more complex, which is the point that you just
can't add up neutron + positron and get something that is more massive
than a neutron. You could get something less massive, like a proton.

Yes, I mean free particles. On Anyons, I found:

http://focus.aps.org/story/v16/st14

This still appears highly theoretical in nature and makes lots of
assumptions about a 1/5 and 1/3 charge hanging around.

If you look at the table on:

http://focus.aps.org/story/v16/st14

All real free particles have a charge of -1 , 0, +1 - only quarks have
fractional charges which I find unncessary since all particles could be
made up of whole charge positrions and electrons. I suspect this whole
mess of fractional charges is just to justify the 3 scattering centers
in a proton and then forcing all the other particles comply with this
initial assumption.

Here is a reference I found on the structure of the neutron based of
DIS:

https://dspace.mit.edu/bitstream/1721.1/13341/1/25277455.pdf

This also appears to indicate that the results are not as predicted
according to the various existing models - showing that the quark model
may be wrong. This paper is old and hard to read and I only looked at
the conclusions, so I may be misunderstanding, but that is what it
looks like to me.
