In this context, we have considered ( α s ) ( e 8πϵ 0 R ) 4.86 MeV as a single nuclear binding energy coefficient or 0 potential. Keywords: Nucleon, Nuclear binding energy, Beta stability line, Strong coupling, Semi-empirical mass formula, Liquid drop model. Introduction In nuclear physics, the semi-empirical mass formula [- 3] is used to approximate the mass and various other properties of an atomic nucleus. its name suggests, it is based partly on theory and partly on empirical measurements. Although refinements have been made to the coefficients over the years, the structure of the formula remains the same today. The simple semi empirical mass formula (SEMF) constitutes of five different energy coefficients and 5 different energy terms. The major drawback of SEMF is that, it does not throw light on the implementation of strong interaction concepts and strong coupling constant [4,5] in understanding nuclear binding energy. In this study, we attempt: ) To propose a very simple and direct relation for understanding beta stability line [5, 6, 7] with reference to neutron, proton and electron rest masses, ) To propose a very simple semi empirical relation for fitting the nuclear binding energy with only one energy constant i.e. 4.86 MeV, which is assumed to be connected with nuclear charge radius R 0.5 fm and strong coupling constant α s 0.86, 3) To divide the nuclear binding energy scheme into 3 steps: a. To understand the binding energy at stable mass number of Z, b. To understand the binding energy below the stable mass number of Z, c. To understand the binding energy above the stable mass number of Z; 4) To report an attempt to fit and interrelate the SEMF binding energy coefficients.. Liquid Drop Model and the Semi Empirical Mass Formula According to the well-known liquid drop model: ) Atomic nucleus can be considered as a drop of incompressible fluid; *Corresponding author.

) Nuclear fluid is made of protons and neutrons, which are held together by the strong nuclear force. Mathematical analysis of the theory delivers an equation which attempts to predict the binding energy of a nucleus in terms of the numbers of protons and neutrons it contains. This equation includes five terms on its right hand side. These correspond to the cohesive binding of all the nucleons by the strong nuclear force, the electrostatic mutual repulsion of the protons, a surface energy term, an asymmetry term which is derivable from the protons and neutrons occupying independent quantum momentum states, and a pairing term which is partly derivable from the protons and neutrons occupying independent quantum spin states. The coefficients are calculated by fitting to experimentally measured masses of nuclei. Their values can vary depending on how they are fitted to the data. In the following formulae, let A be the total number of nucleons, Z the number of protons, and N the number of neutrons. The mass of an atomic nucleus is given by: m Zm Nm B c p n () where m p and m n represent the rest mass of a proton and a neutron, respectively, and B is the binding energy of the nucleus. The semi-empirical mass formula states that the binding energy will take the following form, /3 Z( Z ) ( A Z) ap B av A as A ac a /3 a () A A A Here a υ is volume energy coefficient, a s is the surface energy coefficient, a c is the coulomb energy coefficient, a a is the asymmetry energy coefficient and a p is the pairing energy coefficient. If we consider the sum of the volume energy, surface energy, coulomb energy, asymmetry energy and pairing energy, then the picture of a nucleus as a drop of incompressible liquid roughly accounts for the observed variation of binding energy of the nucleus. given in Table, the currently adopted coefficients in unit of energy (MeV) are used in semi empirical mass formula [3]. Table. Adopted SEMF binding energy coefficients a v a s a c MeV MeV MeV MeV MeV 5.78 8.34 0.7 3..0 5.58 6.6 0.689.0 0.08 a a a p 3. Estimation of Stable Mass with Proton By maximizing B(A, Z) with respect to Z, it can be found the number of protons Z of the stable nucleus of atomic weight A as, A Z ac aa A 0.4A AZ A 00 This is roughly A/ for light nuclei, but for heavy nuclei there is an even better agreement with nature. By substituting the above value of Z back into B, one obtains the binding energy as a function of the atomic weight, B(A). The maximization of B(A)/A with respect to A would give the nucleus which is most strongly bound or most stable. In this context, we would like to suggest that, independent of SEMF concepts, nuclear beta stability line can be understood within neutron, proton and electron rest masses. It is also possible to show that [4]: mn mp c.9333mev exp exp 4 mc e 0.50998946MeV Based on this observation and without considering the binding energy coefficients, beta stability line can be understood with the following empirical relations. These relations can be compared with the computational relations pertaining to isotopic shift and drip lines proposed in reference [3], N s = 0.96805Z + 0.00658803Z.

For light and medium atomic nuclides, there is some mismatch, which can be attributed to shell structure and needs for further study. indicated in 8

Discussion From the above proposed relations and the estimated results in tables to 4 it is possible to infer that: ) Nucleons and electrons play a crucial role in understanding nuclear stability. ) Strong coupling constant plays an important role in understanding the nuclear binding energy. 3) Nuclear binding energy can also be estimated with use of a single energy coefficient. 4) Z=30 seems to play an interesting role and we are working on understanding the physical significance of ( Z ) 6. 30 5) Z=53 is estimated to be stable A s=3 and its estimated binding energy is 039 MeV. Actually, it is stable at A s=7. From relation (9), binding energy of 53I 7 is ( 7 53 ) 039.0 068.7 MeV 3 53. Actual binding energy of 53I 7 is 07.57 MeV. 6) The authors are working in this line to deal with the nuclear binding energies and masses involving more realistic quantum physics, different shell corrections and odd-even phenomena [9-4]. 0. Conclusion Understanding and estimating nuclear binding energy with strong interaction concepts still stands as a really challenging task. So far no such model is available in physics literature. Even though some % difference is persisting in the proposed binding energy expressions, qualitatively they are very simple to follow. An interesting point to be noted is that, the number of energy coefficients can be minimized and their existence can be linked with strong interaction concepts. We are confident to say that, with further research, background physics of the proposed relations can be understood and thereby a clear and simple model can be developed.
