Neutron animated picture



From the Orbital Conception of Elementary Particles the Neutron is considered as formed by a Core (dark blue) and a Shell (light blue). The shell is spun by a corpuscle (c-) (lighter spinning ball) and the core by an anti-corpuscle (c+) (darker spinning ball). Both corpuscles rotate at the speed of light around a common center, but have a slightly different gyratory radius or orbital. The shell classical radius is equal to 1.1 Fm while the core one is equal to 1.0 Fm.

Core and Shell are differently quantized, so while the core is highly energetic with a corresponding mass of  938.27 MeV/c2, the shell is instead much less energetic with a mass of only 1.29 MeV/c2). The shell is considered to be highly reactive and to constitute the cohesive element of nuclear structure.

The neutron is considered in the present frame to be the altered product of the structural superposition of an electron and a proton. Expressed in terms of particles structural wave function, the neutron one can be expressed as follows:

yn = y+ + y-  = yp + yshell

The heavier proton (yp ) is regarded to act as a core and the much lighter electron (ye ) is regarded to restructure and act as a shell (yshell ), with an energy of 1.29 MeV, instead of only 0.51 MeV when in form of electron. So, in short the neutron can be seen as structured by a composite wave function  yn , having  two components:  yp and yshell .
