ABSTRACT: A nucleus has a lattice configuration, a mass, and a half-life. There are
many nuclear theories: BCS formalism focuses on Neutron-proton (np) pairing; AB
initio calculation uses NCFC model; SEMF uses water drop model. However,
the accepted theories give neither précised lattices of lower mass nuclei, nor
an accurate calculation of nuclear mass. This paper uses the results of the
latest Unified Field Theory (UFT) to derive a lattice configuration for each
isotope. We found that a simplified BCS formalism can be used to calculate
energies of the predicted lattice structure. Furthermore, mass calculation
results and NMR data can be used to determine the right lattice structure. Our
results demonstrate the inseparable relationship among nuclear lattices, mass,
and stability. We anticipate that our essay will provide a new method that can
predict the lattice of each isotope without the use of advanced mathematics.
For example, the lattice of an unknown nucleus can be predicted using trial and
error. The mass of the nuclear lattice can be calculated. If the calculation
result matches the experimental data and NMR pattern supports the lattice as
well, then the predicted nuclear lattice configuration is valid.
