TY - JOUR AU - Osman, Frederick AU - Hora, Heinrich PY - 2004 TI - Standard Abundance Distribution of Elements in the Universe and Magic Numbers with Boltzmann Probability JF - American Journal of Applied Sciences VL - 1 IS - 1 DO - 10.3844/ajassp.2004.51.53 UR - https://thescipub.com/abstract/ajassp.2004.51.53 AB - The decay of the standard abundance distribution of elements in the Universe for heavy elements has well-know maxima near magic numbers of the nuclear shell model and deep minima in between. Combining the maxima as a generation probability N (Z) on the proton number Z of the nuclides, a Boltzmann probability shows decay N (Z) = N’ exp (-Z/Z’). The result of Z’ = 10 has consequences on the foundation of the magic numbers, on the quark structure of the shell and determines new higher magic numbers.
