What are the magnetic states of nucleons?

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion centers on the magnetic states of nucleons and the potential for increasing magnetic fields through nuclear spin. Participants explore the limits of excited magnetic momentum, referencing nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) as a method for aligning spins without altering their absolute values. The conversation also touches on the implications of quantum mechanics on nucleon behavior, particularly regarding the spin of electrons and protons. Key resources mentioned include Susskind’s Theoretical Minimum series for quantum mechanics and various theories regarding electron spin and speed limits.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR)
  • Familiarity with quantum mechanics concepts, particularly spin
  • Knowledge of nuclear energy levels and excitation methods
  • Basic principles of particle physics, including nucleon behavior
NEXT STEPS
  • Research the principles of nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) in detail
  • Study Susskind’s Theoretical Minimum series on quantum mechanics
  • Explore nuclear energy levels and excited state tables for specific isotopes
  • Investigate the implications of quantum spin on particle physics
USEFUL FOR

Physicists, nuclear engineers, and anyone interested in advanced quantum mechanics and nuclear physics applications, particularly in the context of magnetic states and excitation methods of nucleons.

Could I have hundred times the ground state or there is a limit?
Is there a limit for excited magnetic momentum that if reached the nucleous explode or generate gammas?

I suppose If I excite it it would spin faster but proportional to quantum values. Note: there is a "theory" to avoid electron surface reaching light speed limit
 
Physics news on Phys.org
The notion of spin in a quantum system is not the same as a classical system. Hence the notion of the electron reaching light speed doesn’t apply in this case.

Susskind’s Theoretical Minimum series has a book on QM that might clarify the spin part.

Closing thread.
 
@Javier Lopez asks:
I only need to know if is possible to increase the magnetic field due spin of nucleus. I suppose yes because NMR exists.
Perhaps, @Astronuc can comment on this.
 
Perhaps I will need help to buid the machine (I am sorry because the writting of the first post)
 
All nucleons have spin 1/2. There are hadrons with a higher spin but they are different particles. Nuclei can have higher spin.

NMR doesn't change the absolute spin, it just aligns the spin of many nuclei.

What?

Nuclear states are usually excited by neutrons, gammas, or high energy particles.

What?
Here is the classical theory that says that electron rotation violates speed light 137 times:

Here is the theory explained in a simple manner that says that proton spin is real but electron not (I do not know if this theory is true or not, only I found it):
<< Unacceptable source deleted by the Mentors >>
What machine are you building?
I am building a small fusion reactor
It is a pity it is needed MeV particles to excite nucleons

Exist excited state tables with MeV and magnetic moments for protons, litium6, beryllium9 and 11 boron?

It would violate the laws of physics if the spin would come from a classical rotation. It does not.

That website is full of nonsense.
