A Comprehensive Empirical Study of the Critical Point at N/Z = 1.55 in Heavy Nuclides: Six Independent Dimensions of Evidence

Whether a universal critical N/Z value governs the stability and decay modes of all heavy nuclides has remained unresolved. Using experimental data from the ENDF/B-VIII.0, NuDat 3.0, ENSDF, and AME2020 public databases, this paper identifies N/Z = 1.55 as a structural break point...
