Explain energy[edit]

Question from lay person about the Asymmetry Energy -- Looking at the term in the formula, the energy is apparently zero when number of neutrons = twice number of protons. Description says it accounts for energy when there are more neutrons than protons. Can this be succinctly explained?

Yes.. it was a typing mistake! Postscript07 00:23, 15 December 2006 (UTC)postscript07

Description of the equation[edit]

Acted on the appeal of the initial author for more information by adding a textual description of the model's key equation, as I can best recall it from Nuclear Physics lectures that I attended in 1984. I believe that the equation may be due to Fermi. - Alan Peakall —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 193.82.145.202 (talk • contribs) on 17:03, 15 October 2002.

Weizsäcker formula coefficient values[edit]

After an anon modified things, I attempted to hunt down references with the actual formula coefficient values. The table I installed has what I could find, but these are both from secondary sources (sources that cite the sources I list, not the sources listed themselves). If anyone has primary sources handy, by all means add more columns to the table. Checking that the values for the sources I listed are correct would be handy too. --Christopher Thomas 23:07, 29 January 2006 (UTC)

Shouldn't the article mention the Semi-empirical mass formula at some point during the discussion of the Weizsäcker formula? --Zapateria 15:26, 3 June 2006 (UTC)

Done. --Christopher Thomas 16:04, 3 June 2006 (UTC)
