Nonexistence of large nuclei in the liquid drop model

arXiv:1604.03231 · doi:10.1007/s11005-016-0860-8

Abstract

We give a simplified proof of the nonexistence of large nuclei in the liquid drop model and provide an explicit bound. Our bound is within a factor of 2.3 of the conjectured value and seems to be the first quantitative result.
