Nuclear physics is one of the theories in the field of physics that aims to study the structure of atomic nuclei, the interactions between the compilers of atomic nuclei, and the underlying forces. This study aims to obtain a model of interaction that occurs between nucleons. The interactions between these nucleons are modeled by a binary center of mass system (two objects) and their potential experience is expressed by the Woods-Saxon potential with certain parameters. The obtained model equations are then solved using the fourth-order Runge Kutta numerical method that programmed in the Matlab programming language. In this study, this model used has been simulated on the interaction of nucleons in Deuteron, Triton, Helium-3 isotope, and Helium works well, but it did not work well in Lithium atom.
