The statement that there are no "magic numbers" for nuclear forces is not entirely accurate. However, the term "magic numbers" is more commonly used in nuclear physics to describe certain numbers of nucleons (protons or neutrons) that have a particularly stable configuration within atomic nuclei. These magic numbers are associated with filled shells or subshells in the nuclear shell model, analogous to the electron shells in atomic structure.
In the context of nuclear forces, the term "magic numbers" may not be applicable in the same way because nuclear forces refer to the interactions between nucleons (protons and neutrons) within the atomic nucleus. These forces are typically described by complex mathematical models such as nuclear potential models, effective field theories, or quantum chromodynamics (QCD), which is the theory of the strong nuclear force.
While there are certain patterns and regularities observed in the behavior of nuclear forces, such as the saturation of nuclear matter and the existence of bound atomic nuclei, the intricate nature of these forces does not easily lend itself to simple, universally applicable magic numbers like those found in the nuclear shell model.
It's worth noting that the term "magic numbers" can also be used in a more general sense to describe specific values or parameters that appear to have a special significance in a particular field. In this broader context, it is possible that there may be some specific values or parameters related to nuclear forces that are considered significant, but they are not commonly referred to as "magic numbers."
