The Toroidal Orbit Model: A Geometric Framework for Atomic,Molecular, and Nuclear Shell Structure

JBJames BourassaDynamic Research (United States)

Puntos clave

The Toroidal Orbit Model establishes a geometric framework for electron and nucleonic shells.
It derives the 2n2 electron-capacity rule and constructs the nuclear magic-number sequence using no tunable parameters.
A reproducibility runbook accompanies the model for equal-complexity tests across atomic, molecular, and nuclear regimes.
The model proposes compact templates for angular distributions relevant to advanced spectroscopy techniques.

Resumen

Abstract We introduce the Toroidal Orbit Model (TOM), a geometric seat-filling framework forelectronic shells in atoms and molecules and for nucleonic shells in nuclei. TOM formalizes “tubeseats” around a central potential, derives the 2n2 electron-capacity rule via seat tiling, constructsthe nuclear magic-number sequence 2, 8, 20, 28, 50, 82, 126 without tunable parameters (3L+2Frule), and proposes compact templates for molecular angular distributions (ARPES/HHG). Wepair the framework with preregistered, equal-complexity head-to-head tests in atomic, molecular,and nuclear regimes and provide a reproducibility runbook.
