What is Fermi Gas Model in Nuclear Physics about?
The Fermi gas model pictures the nucleus as a degenerate gas of protons and neutrons similar to electrons in metals. It assumes that nucleons move freely and occupy discrete energy levels according to the Pauli exclusion principle up to a maximum energy called the Fermi energy. The model treats protons and neutrons separately and proposes that they occupy potential wells of different depths, with neutrons deeper than protons. This explains the small difference in Fermi energies and observed binding energies
