How to Use nucleon in a Sentence

nucleon

noun

• If scalar particles interact strongly with nucleons, neutron stars today should be far colder than what telescopes detect.

• Neutron stars are ideal for this because their interiors are packed with nucleons (protons and neutrons) to an unimaginable degree.

• Any scenario in which scalar-nucleon particles interact strongly with protons and neutrons would have cooled these stars far more than what telescopes actually see.

• In a smaller number of these interactions, a photon may not break apart the nucleus but strike only a nucleon, generating no ‘forward’ neutrons.

• This is the telltale signature of Δ resonances decaying into pion-nucleon pairs that then coalesce into deuterons.

• If hypothetical scalar particles interact with nucleons, neutron stars would be perfect factories for them.

• At the same time, certain ‘magic numbers’ of nucleons, whether protons or neutrons, lead to particularly stable configurations.

• These resonances are abundant, accounting for roughly 43 percent of nucleon production at the LHC.
  — Tejasri Gururaj, Interesting Engineering, 29 Jan. 2026
• In data studied from experiments carried out in 2018, the scientists found that nucleons located at the edge of a nucleus have a different internal structure than those near the center.
