The shell model treats the motion of nucleons within the nucleus as non-relativistic; I'm looking for models that treat the motion of nucleons as relativistic.
There are three main models for nuclear structure research at present :droplet model, shell model and collective model.They all have their own limitations.If you want to look for models that treat the motion of nucleons as relativistic.The key issue is what is the formula of strong interaction?Then using the formula to creat a dirac function to explain p-n structure.
Well,It would be very successful! if your theory could solve the problems of binding energy, abnormal magnetic moment, lifetime, isotope number and neutron/nucleon number ratio of 118 elements.
