Modified Phenomenological Ground State Energy Formula of Light Nuclei

The stability of a nuclei can be understood by knowing how the ground state energy varies with mass number A, neutron number N and proton number Z. A modified phenomenological formula for ground state binding energy based upon the quark model of nuclei is proposed.The formula successfully calculates grounds state energy of light nuclei using three terms only that depend upon A, N and Z numbers. Since binding energy is dependent on the volume of the nuclide, the formula contains a volume term proportional to the mass number A and expresses asymmetry energy and coulomb repulsion between protons in a combined and simpler form than the way it is presented in Liquid Drop Model. Considering a set of 60 light nuclei for A
