Nuclear Force Problem: Showing Unbound Neutron-Proton State & Energy

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion focuses on demonstrating that the neutron-proton state is unbound and determining its energy. Participants emphasize the necessity of understanding the quantum state to accurately assess the energy levels. The conversation highlights the relationship between state characteristics and energy calculations, confirming that without a clear definition of the state, energy determination remains ambiguous. The conclusion drawn is that both state identification and energy evaluation are critical for understanding the unbound nature of the neutron-proton interaction.

How to show that neurton-proton state is unboud, and what is its energy ?
 
Physics news on Phys.org
You need to know the state to know the energy, and the energy to know if its bound.
