# What are nuclear forces?

## Main Question or Discussion Point

There are some theories, but I am looking for one that have proven using test data and can be placed in an excel table or a program with coefficients for some common reactions.
Do anybody knows a paper with tables or formulas?
I found this with a fortran code that is recent:
http://nucleartalent.github.io/Course2ManyBodyMethods/doc/pub/forces/pdf/forces-print.pdf

I have the following plot from wikipedia but I do not understand so large 100MeV exists
Also following formula:
$$V_{\text{Reid}}(r)=-10.463{\frac {e^{-\mu r}}{\mu r}}-1650.6{\frac {e^{-4\mu r}}{\mu r}}+6484.2{\frac {e^{-7\mu r}}{\mu r}}$$

Also the yukawa formula, that could work (with lower accuracy) if it would be possible to obtain the coefficients for some reactions:
$$V_{\text{Yukawa}}(r)=-g^{2}{\frac {e^{-\mu r}}{r}}$$
