neutron proton 6p and 6n rate calculate the expected proton rate
92% of the time two-nucleon high density fluctuations are ptoron and neutron 4% of the time proton-proton or neutron-neutron Piasetzky, Sargsian, Strikman, Frankfurt, Watson PRL 2006 Important Implication for the structure of the neutron stars
