Atomic nuclei are self-organized, many-body quantum systems bound by strong nuclear
forces within femtometre-scale space. These complex systems manifest a variety of shapes …

High-energy nuclear collisions encompass three key stages: the structure of the colliding
nuclei, informed by low-energy nuclear physics, the initial condition, leading to the formation …

Abstract Models based on nuclear energy density functionals can provide access to a
multitude of observables for thousands of nuclei in a single framework with microscopic …

Having a detailed theoretical knowledge of the low-energy structure of the heavy odd-mass
nucleus 197 Au is of prime interest as the structure of this isotope represents an important …

Shapes and shape evolution in the mass-130 region, including the Te, Xe, and Ba isotopes,
have long been a focus of discussion in nuclear physics. This mass region consists of …

Within the nuclear DFT approach, we determined the magnetic dipole and electric
quadrupole moments for paired nuclear states corresponding to the proton (neutron) …

We perform high-statistics simulations to study the impacts of nuclear structure on the ratios
of anisotropic flow observables in Pb 208+ Pb 208 and Xe 129+ Xe 129 collisions at the …

We extend multireference covariant density-functional theory (MR-CDFT) based on a
relativistic point-coupling energy functional to describe the low-lying states of odd-mass …

The quantum-mechanical nuclear-shell structure determines the stability and limits of the
existence of the heaviest nuclides with large proton numbers Z≳ 100 (refs. 1, 2, 3). Shell …

Understanding nuclear structure provides essential insights into the properties of atomic
nuclei. In this paper, details of the nuclear structure of $^{\rm 129} $ Xe, such as the …
