NucleonIsospin

Permalink to relation

This is an authored directed relation from the source endpoint to the target endpoint.

Authored explanation

Proton and neutron form an approximate isospin doublet when electromagnetic effects and the up–down mass difference are neglected.

How to interpret this relation type

The target represents a state, property, observable, or state-dependent description associated with the source system or theory.

NucleonNeutron

Permalink to relation

This is an authored directed relation from the source endpoint to the target endpoint.

Authored explanation

The neutron is the neutral nucleon.

How to interpret this relation type

The target is a member or subtype of the broader source class.

NucleonNuclear many-body system

Permalink to relation

This is an authored directed relation from the source endpoint to the target endpoint.

Authored explanation

Nuclei are many-nucleon quantum systems of protons and neutrons.

How to interpret this relation type

The source is a material constituent, structural component, or underlying quantum field whose excitation realizes the target physical system or particle. The edge label and detail must distinguish composition from field excitation; neither implies a simple classical sum of parts.
