The article really only focuses on the proton, but there are all the other nuclides to consider. Here is a link to a resource for those: www-nds.iaea.org/publications/indc/indc-hun-0033.pdf Perhaps someone who is good at html editing can tidy up the insertion on the main page.

This article never really comes out and says in clear language how the charge radius is defined. Is there a certain value of electric field (e.g. 10% of the charge of an electron) that defines the radius? What does it mean for an electron to "see" a cross-section? Why is there variation in such? There must be something by which an outermost radius is "seen" or else the average would be arbitrarily high; how is that explained? Perhaps a diagram would be helpful. - Beland ( talk) 17:01, 11 August 2016 (UTC)

It is not the proton radius rp = 8,751e-16 but it is rather the Compton wavelength of the proton λC.p = 1,32140985396e-15. Neither is mentioned in the linked article by Weisskopf. Ra-raisch ( talk) 15:50, 12 January 2019 (UTC) The number R = 7,5 given in the book probably gives the measured radius of gold and not based upon the mentioned r0 = 1,33 (which differs for all atoms in the book).
