Hydrogen ground-state nuclear-volume probability

ID: hydrogen-ground-state-nuclear-volume-probability

For the point-Coulomb ground state, radial probability density is . Integrating to gives , with , whose small- expansion is the displayed result. A finite proton charge distribution changes the interior potential, and a proton radius is not literally a sharp material boundary; the expression is an estimate of a small overlap region.
