On the equation, the particles are massless, so surely p (Momentum I assume) must equal 0? Therefore E=c? Force wise, I'm looking for the force that overcomes electromagnetism and pulls two nuclei together when they get to a certain range. I thought that this was the strong nuclear force...

Is there a defined distance at which Electromagnetism starts exerting more force than the strong nuclear force? So far I have Gluons have <20MeV (32.04×10-13J) of energy. Using the uncertainty principle: t=h/(4×pi×E) and distance = t×c Therefore t = (6.6×10^-34)/(4×pi×<32.04×10^-13)...

Damn, missed that bit, whoops... Thanks, much appreciated.

I'm currently doing a physics project on fusion for my A2, and need to show how to work out the range of the strong nuclear force. So far I've got this delta E*delta t > h/(4*Pi) (h = Plancks constant, E = exchange particle energy and t = time.) Multiply time by c to get the range...
