Nuclear Shell Structure

Nuclear Shell Structure is a theoretical framework in nuclear physics that explains the arrangement and energy levels of nucleons in atomic nuclei through quantized shells, analogous to electron shells in atoms, where stability arises from the filling of discrete nucleon orbitals governed by the Pauli exclusion principle and spin-orbit coupling.
