Reconstructed neutron charge structure via selective flattening: Insights from Patterson function analysis

We present the first accurate reconstruction of the neutron charge structure using a selective flattening method applied to Patterson function analysis. By tuning the radial Patterson charge density to match experimental data, we derive a charge distribution that reveals the internal structure of the neutron with unprecedented clarity. The resulting profile is consistent with electrical neutrality and offers a refined spatial characterization of the neutron’s charge density. This represents an empirical and model-independent approach, free from theoretical bias.
