Nuclear Shell Model

The Nuclear Shell Model is a theoretical framework in nuclear physics that describes the structure of atomic nuclei by positing that nucleons occupy discrete energy levels or shells within the nucleus, analogous to electron shells in atoms, with shell closures at certain magic numbers leading to enhanced nuclear stability.
