Why do neutrons interact so actively with matter, with atomic nuclei, for example? Are they NEUTRAL???
Neutrinos are also neutral, and they very rare INTERACT with matter!
And neutrons suddenly become so INTERACTING? So they’re not very NEUTRAL. Moreover, they are very willing to interact with the nuclei of any elements, not only with uranium and any transuranic!
Why are they sometimes not captured by the nuclei, but collide with them like “elastic balls”? What MUTUAL REPULSIVE forces can a positive nucleus and a NEUTRAL one have in the sense of the electric charge of a neutron! After all, then the nucleus, with its powerful and very concentrated central field, can INDUCE a negative charge in the neutron and attract it to itself, just as an electro-polarized wand attracts pieces of paper!
This is probably what happens in cases of neutron capture by nuclei. This means that the neutron, depending on some “internal processes”, can be either negatively charged from the OUTSIDE and attracted to the nucleus, or positively and then “elastically” push off from it!
WHAT are these “internal processes” of the neutron?
My answer is: If, according to my model, a neutron is considered as a “FAILED” hydrogen atom in which an electron rotates around a proton IN a NON-STATIONARY orbit, then this immediately introduces an element of neutron CHARGE PULSATION, even though it is generally electrically neutral. It is neutral, but at short distances comparable to the size of electron orbits close to the core, its active charge plus or minus pulsates all the time due to changes in the relative position of a proton, a rotating electron and a certain nucleus that happens to be nearby. Moreover, the nucleus, too, according to my model, is a “God’s dandelion” surrounded by a “neutron coat”, where the electrons also rotate around their “neutron” protons of the outer layer of the nucleus. So, if we accept these assumptions, the interaction of nuclei and neutrons is the interaction of two pulsating charges, which causes different, opposite interactions.
For example, substances called neutron moderators. Their nuclei preferentially reject neutrons rather than capture them.
Other substances, the so-called “reactor poisons”, preferentially capture neutrons. There are different types of nuclear pulsations-fluctuations, different types, perhaps even IMPOSED rhythms and pulsation signs. The variety of the further nature of the interaction of these particles is determined.
This hypothesis does not contradict Rutherford’s classical experiments with the bombardment of target nuclei by fast alpha particles. Massive (four proton masses!) The particles easily penetrate the “electron coat” of the outer layer of neutrons and therefore do not experience any attraction or repulsion from it.
A neutron is a particle with a mass of only one proton and therefore can interact with the nucleus DIFFERENTLY, due to the form factor, depending on the different shielding effects of the “neutron coat”.
The “God’s dandelion core” model also naturally explains the phenomenon of internal electron conversion. Because the electron shell of the outer neutrons of the nucleus can occupy a much larger space in the center of the atom and therefore it can have some kind of ejecting effect on K-electrons, that is, the electrons closest to the nucleus. Thus, it is NOT the NUCLEUS that suddenly takes off from its place in the center of the atom and, flying hundreds or thousands of its diameters, “hits” the nearest electron (instead of swallowing it with its powerful gradient field), but its electrons from the “neutron coat” can completely push the K-electron out of the limits. The atom!
Similarly, K-capture by the core. The nucleus does NOT capture the K-electron, it is captured by an element of the “neutron coat” external to the nucleus.
It seems to me that this assumption is reasonable and naturally explains many effects of nuclear physics.
