What is Nucleus?
・Nucleus is composed of nucleons (protons and neutrons).
・Nucleus has shell structure. Nucleus becomes closed shell when the number of
nucleons is 2,8,20,28,50,82,126 (magic number).
In Non Relativity, nuclear shell structure had been explained.
However, the speed of nucleon in nucleus is about 1/3 of light speed.
Can the shell structure be explained in Relativity ?
This is the theme of my graduation thesis.

We consider the interaction of σ- nucleon
and ω-nucleon.
We have to add the
term
artificially as perturbation.
