Evolution of shell structure in exotic nuclei

T Otsuka, A Gade, O Sorlin, T Suzuki, Y Utsuno - Reviews of modern physics, 2020 - APS
The atomic nucleus is a quantum many-body system whose constituent nucleons (protons
and neutrons) are subject to complex nucleon-nucleon interactions that include spin-and …

Coupled-cluster computations of atomic nuclei

G Hagen, T Papenbrock… - Reports on Progress …, 2014 - iopscience.iop.org
In the past decade, coupled-cluster theory has seen a renaissance in nuclear physics, with
computations of neutron-rich and medium-mass nuclei. The method is efficient for nuclei …

Evidence for a new nuclear 'magic number' from the level structure of 54Ca

D Steppenbeck, S Takeuchi, N Aoi, P Doornenbal… - Nature, 2013 - nature.com
Atomic nuclei are finite quantum systems composed of two distinct types of fermion—protons
and neutrons. In a manner similar to that of electrons orbiting in an atom, protons and …

Nuclear magic numbers: New features far from stability

O Sorlin, MG Porquet - Progress in Particle and Nuclear Physics, 2008 - Elsevier
The main purpose of the present manuscript is to review the structural evolution along the
isotonic and isotopic chains around the “traditional” magic numbers 8, 20, 28, 50, 82 and …

Evolution of shell structure in neutron-rich calcium isotopes

G Hagen, M Hjorth-Jensen, GR Jansen, R Machleidt… - Physical Review Letters, 2012 - APS
We employ interactions from chiral effective field theory and compute the binding energies
and low-lying excitations of calcium isotopes with the coupled-cluster method. Effects of …

Nuclear structure and astrophysics

H Grawe, K Langanke… - Reports on Progress in …, 2007 - iopscience.iop.org
The nuclear structure in regions of the Segré chart which are of astrophysical importance is
reviewed. The main emphasis is put on those nuclei that are relevant for stellar …

The role of shell evolution in shape coexistence

T Otsuka, Y Tsunoda - Journal of Physics G: Nuclear and Particle …, 2016 - iopscience.iop.org
We first review the shell evolution in exotic nuclei driven by nuclear forces. We then
demonstrate that the underlying mechanism played by the balance of the tensor and central …

The role of three-nucleon potentials within the shell model: Past and present

L Coraggio, G De Gregorio, T Fukui, A Gargano… - Progress in Particle and …, 2024 - Elsevier
We survey the impact of nuclear three-body forces on structure properties of nuclei within the
shell model. It has long been acknowledged, since the seminal works of Zuker and …

Shape phase transitions and critical-point phenomena in atomic nuclei

RF Casten - Nature Physics, 2006 - nature.com
Atomic nuclei exhibit phase transitions as a function of the number of their constituent
protons and neutrons. These phase transitions are not of the usual thermodynamic type, but …

Extended Neutron Orbital and the Shell Closure in

M Enciu, HN Liu, A Obertelli, P Doornenbal, F Nowacki… - Physical review …, 2022 - APS
The one-neutron knockout from Ca 52 in inverse kinematics onto a proton target was
performed at∼ 230 MeV/nucleon combined with prompt γ spectroscopy. Exclusive quasifree …
