Abstract

The decay of the standard abundance distribution of elements in the Universe for heavy elements has well-know maxima near magic numbers of the nuclear shell model and deep minima in between. Combining the maxima as a generation probability N (Z) on the proton number Z of the nuclides, a Boltzmann probability shows decay N (Z) = N’ exp (-Z/Z’). The result of Z’ = 10 has consequences on the foundation of the magic numbers, on the quark structure of the shell and determines new higher magic numbers.
