Abstract
This manuscript demonstrates that the Electro-Gravi-Magnetics (EGM) construct accurately derives: (i)
the Neutron Mean Square Charge Radius [to within 0.296(%)], (ii) the Neutron Magnetic Radius [to
within 0.003(%)], (iii) the Proton Electric Radius [to within 0.062(%)], (iv) the Proton Magnetic Radius
[to within 0.825(%)], (v) the Classical Proton RMS Charge Radius [to within 0.046(%)], (vi) a precise
mathematical representation of the Neutron Charge Distribution and all its key features and (vii) the
“1st” term of the emission / absorption spectrum of the Hydrogen atom (Balmer Series) [to within
0.131(%)]. Subsequently, the derivation of the complete spectrum is inferred. Additionally, an
experimentally implicit definition of the Bohr Radius [to within 0.353(%) of the classical
representation] is also derived.

1 I#TRODUCTIO#
The construct herein covers two principle areas in particle and quantum physics: (i) the
experimentally verified Mean-Square charge radius of the Neutron “KX = -0.113(fm2)” {“fm” denotes
“femtometre” [x10-15(m)]} [1] and (ii), the first term2 in the emission / absorption spectrum of the
Hydrogen atom3 “λB = 656.46962(nm)”. [2] It shall be demonstrated that “KX” and “λB” may be
derived precisely [to within 0.296(%) and 0.131(%) respectively] utilising the principles of Electro-
Gravi-Magnetics (EGM). [3-15]
An experimentally implicit definition “rX” of the Bohr Radius “rBohr” is also derived utilising
the fundamental harmonic wavelength of the EGM spectrum “λPV(1,r,M)”, by application of the
experimentally implicit definition of the Planck Scale “Kλλh” as derived in [10]. Consequently, it is
demonstrated that the first wavelength term of the Balmer Series may be derived in accordance with
EGM methodology, denoted by “λA”.
Storti et. Al. demonstrated in [14,15] that the mass-energy and radii of all fundamental
particles may be easily described by the ratio of two spectra resulting in a simple harmonic sequence.
This was formulated (in part) by the derivation of the Root-Mean-Square (RMS) charge radius of a free
Proton and Neutron (“rπ” and “rν” respectively). [12] The RMS charge radius of the Neutron gained its
name by dimensional analogy to “KX”.
Since “KX” is a mean squared value and has a dimensional representation of “fm2”, the
mathematical square-root operation on this dimension results in the terminology “RMS charge radius
of a free eutron”. Although it is not an accurate portrayal of the nature of an RMS value, it is “quasi-
meaningful” terminology given that the conventional representation for “KX” (a physical displacement)
takes form of a negative squared term (i.e. “-fm2”).
2 THEORETICAL MODELLI#G
Assuming spherical Neutron geometry, the physical meaning of “rν” denotes the radial
displacement value where the charge density is zero. Thus, “rν” represents the boundary between the
positively charged core and negatively charged shell; denoting the radial ordinate at which the Neutron
is in equilibrium with the surrounding Zero-Point-Field (ZPF). Graphically, this may be represented as
follows,
Neutron Charge Distribution
rν r dr
ρ ch( r )
Charge Density
ρ ch r 0
ρ ch r dr
r
Radius
Charge Density
Maximum Charge Density
Minimum Charge Density
Figure 1,

i.e. the experimentally verified wavelength.

i.e. the Balmer Series.

Where, “rdr” denotes the radial displacement of zero charge density gradient (local minima).
The first hypothesis to be tested is that “rν” may be converted to the conventional
representation of “KX” as a “-fm2” quantity. This may be achieved by utilising the Neutron Charge
Distribution “ρch” curve as follows,

Where, “a1, a2, b1 and b2” are mathematical constants physically satisfying the preceding equation, “r”
denotes the magnitude of the radial position vector.
Testing the hypothesis that “rν” is a highly precise alternate representation of the experimentally
verified value of “KX” {to within 0.296(%), as presented by [1]}, also leads to the derivation of:
i. The Neutron Magnetic Radius {to within 0.003(%), as presented by [16]].
ii. The Proton Electric Radius {to within 0.062(%), as presented by [16]].
iii. The Proton Magnetic Radius {to within 0.825(%), as presented by [16]}.
iv. The classical RMS charge radius of the Proton {to within 0.046(%), as defined by [17]}.
The second hypothesis to be tested proposes a relationship exists between the first term of the
Balmer Series, the fundamental harmonic wavelength of the EGM spectrum and the harmonic cut-off
mode “nΩ”. This is shown to produce a “1st” term wavelength to within “0.131(%)” of the classical
representation, as presented by [2]. Subsequently, it is inferred that all Balmer Series terms naturally
proceed. An experimentally implicit definition of the Bohr Radius is also derived, to within “0.353(%)”
of the classical representation as presented by [2].

“rν” represents the Zero-Point-Field (ZPF) equilibrium radius and intersects the radial axis at

The maximum value of “ρch” occurs at “r = 0” and may be determined (assuming spherical

Hence, the Charge Density per unit Coulomb “Q(r)” is expressed by [Q(r) C/m3 * 1/C = 1/m3]:

Therefore, the Charge Density per unit Coulomb per unit Quark “Qch(r)” may be written as,

Exploratory factor analysis, with respect to equation (4), indicates that an infinite family of
solutions for “a1, a2 and b1” exists to satisfy “ρch”. Therefore, we shall assume that “a2 = xa1” and “a1 =
rν”. Subsequently, the values of “a2, b1 and x” may be determined as follows,

ote: The experimental uncertainty of “KX” is “±0.005(fm2)” (as defined by [1]). Consequently, “KS”
matches experimental measurement precisely, with zero error. The error described by equation (31)
assumes an exact experimental value as defined by equation (30).
We may graphically reinforce the preceding derivation by substituting the results for “KS, rν

We shall perform an additional test to ensure that no obvious algebraic errors have been

Whereas the result computed by numerical approximation is,

Since the results of the two preceding equations are identical, no obvious algebraic or numerical errors
have been performed.
Assuming “KX” has zero uncertainty, equation (20) may be transposed and utilised to convert
“KX” to an equivalent RMS charge radius form “rX” as follows,

approximated to high computational precision {to within 3.2 x10-3(%) of the experimental result
[0.879(fm)]} [16] utilising “ρch”, “rν” and “rdr”. Firstly, recognising that “d2ρch(rdr/rν)/dr2 = 0” and

It is possible to utilise EGM to derive the first term in the Balmer Series of the Hydrogen atom
spectrum. Subsequently by inference, the remaining terms may also be produced. Moreover, an

The Hydrogen Spectrum (Balmer Series)

Since the PV spectrum as described by EGM is double sided, symmetrical about the “0th”
mode, the wavelength of the PV spectrum “λPV” for a spherical mass may be applied to determine the
first term in the Balmer Series of the Hydrogen atom as follows,
c
λ PV n PV, r , M
ω PV n PV, r , M
(63)
where, “λPV(1,r,M)” denotes the fundamental (starting) wavelength of the PV spectrum of arbitrary
mass and radius.
If “λA” approximates the first term of the Balmer series [i.e. the longest wavelength such that
λA ≅ λB(3)] in the Hydrogen atom emission / absorption spectrum, then a relationship to the EGM
method may be assumed and tested as follows,
Let:
ψ
λ PV( 1 , r , M )
2 .n Ω ( r , M )
λ A( r, M )
(64)
where, “2nΩ” denotes the total number of modes (odd + even) on both sides of the EGM spectrum,
symmetrical about the “0th” mode defined by, [9]
Ω ( r, M ) 4
n Ω ( r, M ) 1
12 Ω ( r, M )
(65)
Hence, testing an obvious value of “ψ = 2” yields the general formulation,

λ A( r, M )

It was demonstrated in [10] that the historical representation of the Planck scale was
approximately “16(%)” too small. Since “h” is a function of “rBohr” and represents a non-physical
quantum average property, it follows that “rBohr” is approximately “16(%)” too large and must also be
re-scaled for application to equation (66) under the EGM method by a factor of “Kω”. Hence,

3.6.3.2 METHOD 2
If we assume “rBohr” to be correct and constrain the EGM predicted Balmer Series wavelength
to be exactly equal to the classical representation, then we may calculate the required “imaginary

3.6.3.3 METHOD 3
If we assume the Atomic mass constant to be correct, we may determine the correct value of

Comparing “rx” to “rBohr” yields the difference between them,

rx
(80)
Hence, the ZPF equilibrium radius coincides with the Bohr Radius to within “0.353(%)” and suggests
an experimentally implicit4 definition of “rBohr”. Therefore, a useful approximation to the first term in
the Hydrogen atom spectrum (Balmer series) may be given by,
λ PV 1 , K ω .r Bohr , m p
