Figure 4: Odd-even staggering in the atomic number dependence of nuclear radii.

Caption

Atomic number dependence of the nuclear radius for N = 94. The units on the vertical axis are femtometers (10⁻¹⁵ meters). Blue plots represent conventional recommended values. The red plot represents the experimental values from this study. The yellow-green, orange, and purple plots represent the theoretical values obtained from nuclear structure calculations.
