Has anyone ever tried to tally the complete energy associated with an atomic nucleus. For example, here is a partial list:
Total electric repulsion of protons within a nucleus
Total kinetic energy of protons with a nucleus
Total color-charge potential energy within a nucleus
Kinetic energy due to quarks within a nucleus?
If the protons are in motion, would they contribute a magnetic energy to the nucleus of the atom?
If the quarks are in motion, do they contribute a magnetic color energy to the nucleus?
Question marks mean that I am not sure if the question even makes sense.
