The structure, stability, and reactions of atomic nuclei (ordinary hadronic nuclei): binding energies, decay modes (alpha, beta, fission), fusion barriers, and limits on nuclear size. Not dense QCD matter, neutron stars, or quark matter, which have their own tags.
Coulomb barriers and fission instability prevent ordinary nuclei from aggregating to baryon numbers above 300 under natural conditions
