Uncharted Ground: Exploring the Role of Gravitational Fields in Particle Physics and Quark Binding Energies

Authors: Gene A. Harvey

Building upon the model proposed in "Renaming Dark Matter as Condensed Gravitational Fields (ΛCGF) Within Cosmology," 1 this paper explores the extension of ΛCGF theory into atomic and subatomic realms. The previous framework conceptualized dark matter as regions of space dominated by high-density gravitational fields, eschewing the need for exotic particle hypotheses. In this continuation, we focus on how ΛCGF manifests within the strong nuclear force, specifically in its influence on quark confinement and the stability of baryons such as protons and neutrons.Through a series of detailed derivations, this paper demonstrates how the ΛCGF model affects quark binding energies, revealing that the gravitational potential within a ΛCGF interacts with the color force, modifying the effective strong coupling constant at small scales. This adjustment provides an alternate explanation for the strong nuclear force’s strength and range, without requiring a separate quantum field. This work proposes a unified gravitational framework that governs not only large-scale structures but also the interactions that bind subatomic particles, aligning gravitational and nuclear phenomena under a single, cohesive model.In addition, the ΛCGF model predicts subtle modifications in neutron-proton interactions and offers potential resolutions to discrepancies in neutron decay rates and proton stability observed in recent experiments. These predictions are testable through high-energy particle collisions and astrophysical observations of neutron stars and quark-gluon plasmas. The implications of this extended framework offer a fresh perspective on nuclear physics, further cementing the role of gravitational fields in structuring not just galaxies, but also the very building blocks of matter. To apply the CGF model to particle interactions within atomic structures, we begin by focusing on proton and neutron field densities, we can extend the concept of curvature and field interactions at subquantum scales, using the same principles that modify the Einstein field equations.
