R. Ramanna et A. Sharma, THE SYSTEMATICS OF FUNDAMENTAL PARTICLES AND UNSTABLE NUCLEAR SYSTEMSUSING THE CONCEPT OF CONTINUITY AND DISCRETENESS, Current Science, 73(12), 1997, pp. 1083-1097
In this review, a new method is proposed based on Canter's Theory of C
ardinality to analyse the experimental data on unstable nuclear system
s which includes fundamental particles and their flavours, beta-decay
including spin and parity, alpha-decay and the systematics of the ener
gy levels of light nuclei. The method also derives a formula for the b
inding energies of unstable nuclei. All this is based on the theory of
discreteness and continuity.
