Exotic nuclei

Hello, exotic nuclei redirects here but I think it is not really correct. Indeed, exotic nuclei defines nuclei that does not exist naturally on Earth. It is the case of hypernuclei but it is not limited to them. There are also "classic" nuclei which are neutron-rich or neutron-deficient. So probably this redirection should be deleted because it is mentioned in the article and so the reader could think that both terms are synonyms. There exists a stub article on French Wikipedia.

I have rated this article as class "Start" because the explanation what a hypernuclei are, how they are produced and what they can be used for is clearly described. However, still missing are any results from research using hypernuclei. The rating "low" for the importance is related to physics as whole, in nuclear physics still hypernuclei are somewhat more for specialists. --Cyfal (talk) 18:10, 17 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

== Odd wording... ==

>Sigma hypernuclei have been sought with apparent success

This suggests that all we know is that a scientist said "I'm going to look for a sigma hypernucleus." There was a pause while he fiddled with a microscope or something, and then he looked up and said "Well, that's good."

Eventual

"stable apart from eventual weak decay" sounds like years - what is the half life ? 10^-10 sec ? - Rod57 (talk) 20:50, 27 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

That is the correct order of magnitude. –LaundryPizza03 (d c̄) 05:16, 28 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

What is a di-atomic element? 41.113.197.63 (talk) 16:15, 19 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Wrong page. This is about something else entirely. A diatomic element is an element that naturally exists as diatomic molecules. –LaundryPizza03 (d c̄) 02:34, 20 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Diagram(s) requested

I'm working on this article big-time, and have determined the first new image that will be needed: a Feynman diagram, at the hadronic level, illustrating a paragraph on the lambda–nucleon interaction. It would be similar to Fig. 14 in Gal et al. (2016) cited in the article. –LaundryPizza03 (d c̄) 22:15, 19 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
