A few comments here

  • I see why you chose 28.5, but I don't think it is as simple as putting in the ground state energy - see http://www.uprh.edu/rbaretti/WoodsSaxonPotential25may2012.htm
  • The link you reference, the paper seems to be suggesting a novel way to look at nuclear levels including gravity. Is there are more mainstream reference we can use?
  • In general I think we are mixing up potential and potential energy. Morse, KW and coulomb seem to be potential energy, but WS is potential.

From what I can tell from the Koonin paper, a = 1.04.

```python
def morsepot_au(r): # in atomic units
a = 0.4
return (1+0.1745)*(np.exp(-2*a*(r-1.4))-2*np.exp(-a*(r-1.4)))

From reading the Koonin paper, it looks like the entire potential needs to be shifted down by -1, i.e.

(0.1745)*(np.exp(-2*a*(r-1.4))-2*np.exp(-a*(r-1.4))) - 1

If I use a=1.04 as in the above comment I get a much better fit to the KW potential energy

I added some more detailed comments on Slack, as they require more discussion
