Physics of exotic nuclei

Y Ye, X Yang, H Sakurai, B Hu - Nature Reviews Physics, 2024 - nature.com
The past three decades have witnessed the emergence of exotic structures and dynamics in
weakly bound unstable nuclei located in the rapidly expanding nuclear chart. Examples …

Further Evidence for Shape Coexistence in near Doubly Magic

L Nies, L Canete, DD Dao, S Giraud, A Kankainen… - Physical review …, 2023 - APS
Isomers close to doubly magic Ni 50 28 78 provide essential information on the shell
evolution and shape coexistence near the Z= 28 and N= 50 double shell closure. We report …

[HTML][HTML] A unified description of the halo nucleus 37Mg from microscopic structure to reaction observables

JL An, KY Zhang, Q Lu, SY Zhong, SS Zhang - Physics Letters B, 2024 - Elsevier
Based on the structure input directly from the deformed relativistic Hartree-Bogoliubov theory
in continuum (DRHBc), we fully study reaction observables to search for halo evidence of 37 …

numerical diagonalizations complemented with variational calculations based on the …

Identifying the spin-trapped character of the isomeric state

J Williams, G Hackman, K Starosta, RS Lubna… - Physical Review C, 2023 - APS
The properties of a nanosecond isomer in Si 32, disputed in previous studies, depend on the
evolution of proton and neutron shell gaps near the island of inversion. We have placed the …

The Facility for Rare Isotope Beams: Providing New Opportunities for Science

T Glasmacher, A Gade, G Bollen, J Wei - Nuclear Physics News, 2024 - Taylor & Francis
The Facility for Rare Isotope Beams (FRIB) is a user facility for the US Department of Energy

Structure of odd-mass Ne, Na, and Mg nuclei

ZH Sun, TR Djärv, G Hagen, GR Jansen… - arXiv preprint arXiv …, 2024 - arxiv.org
The island of inversion is a region of neutron-rich nuclei that are deformed in their ground
states. In this region, less is known about the energy levels of odd-mass nuclei, how they …
