ABSTRACT

This chapter discusses the behavior of the deformation coat at the nucleon-nucleon interaction, the behavior of nucleons in a deuteron and a nucleus consisting of a large quantity of nucleons that can be considered as a cluster of protons and neutrons. Nuclear forces appear when deformation coats of separate nucleons overlap. The chapter looks at the behavior of nucleons in the real space. It considers the stability of the nucleus as reasoned from the statistical description of a system of a large quantity of interacting protons and neutrons. Nucleons fill shells in a nucleus and move in the field of the same potential. The potential shape is caused by additional deformations of cells in the deformation coats of nucleons, i.e., the attraction occurs owing to the overlapping of deformation coats of nucleons, and the overlapping of inerton clouds of nucleons, which carry the space volumetric fractal deformation, i.e., mass.
