Abstract
STATISTICAL methods have been applied to the explanation of the properties of atomic nuclei for quite a long time1. Hitherto, the energy of nuclei could be represented only in such a Way that, according to the choice of the empirical parameters in the interaction energy of the nucleons, either for light nuclei or for heavy ones, the calculated values show noticeable discrepancies from the experimental values.
