Proton And Neutron as Coaxial Structures

Abstract

We suggest that a proton and a neutron are coaxial spinning structures. It is assumed that an up-quark and a down-quark composing a proton and a neutron each contain three like charges revolving about the axis where one (in the up-quark) or two (in the down-quark) basic fractional charges reside. In the case of particles with more than one charge on the axis of rotation, for example in a down-quark, the distance between the charges on the axis is determined by the requirement of zero net force on each charge on the axis. In a proton, two up-quark and one down-quark between them are in rotation about the common axis. In a neutron, one up-quark is located between two down-quarks, and the entire structure rotates about the common axis. The resulting spinning coaxial structures of protons and neutrons consist of some number of fractional basic charges of magnitude e/3 located on the axis of rotation and some number of fractional basic charges that form a kind of cylindrical shell rotating about the axis. It is shown that the equilibrium distance between an up-quark and a down-quark in the proton and neutron structures is determined by the attraction between the positive u-quark and a negative down-quark at large distances that changes to refusion when the distance is short enough.
