Nuclear Binding Energy
Linked via "neutron-neutron"
Coulomb Term ($-a_c \frac{Z(Z-1)}{A^{4/3}}$): Accounts for the long-range electrostatic repulsion between the $Z$ protons. The $A^{4/3}$ dependence arises from modeling the nucleus as a uniform charged sphere.
Asymmetry Term ($-a_a \frac{(A - 2Z)^2}{A^2}$): Penalizes nuclei where the number of protons significantly deviates from the number of neutrons ($N \approx Z$), reflecting the requirement for maximum stability when the proton and neutron shell…
