charge independence charge independence[¦chärj in·də′pen·dəns] (nuclear physics) The principle that the nuclear (strong) force between a neutron and a proton is identical to the force between two protons or two neutrons in the same orbital and spin state. (particle physics) As a generalization of the nuclear physics definition, the principle that the strong interactions of particles are unchanged if a particle is replaced by another particle of the same isotopic spin multiplet. |
