'''Edo Kaal''' (also published as J. E. Kaal) is a Dutch independent researcher known for proposing the '''Structured Atom Model''' (SAM), an alternative model of the atomic nucleus. He studied analytical and environmental chemistry in the Netherlands and, after a career in the information-technology sector, turned to independent research. He is a founder of the research group associated with the model.<br />
<br />
==Views and research==<br />
Kaal proposes the Structured Atom Model, which treats the atomic nucleus as having a definite geometric structure rather than being described primarily through the mathematics of quantum mechanics. In this model, Kaal and his collaborators argue that the nucleus can be understood in terms of protons and "inter-nuclear" electrons arranged in structured configurations, dispensing with the neutron as a fundamental building block. On this basis they attempt to account for properties such as isotopes, radioactive decay, nuclear stability, and nuclear transmutation.<br />
<br />
Kaal is a co-author of the book ''The Nature of the Atom: An Introduction to the Structured Atom Model'' (with J. A. Sorensen and A. Otte), which presents the model. He has also presented the model in the context of low-energy nuclear reaction (LENR) research, including a talk titled "Nuclear Transmutations and Mass Defect" at the ICCF22 conference in Assisi, Italy (2019).<br />
<br />
The Structured Atom Model is not accepted within mainstream physics and represents a dissident-science position on nuclear structure.<br />
