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 …

[HTML][HTML] The neutron-rich edge of the nuclear landscape: Experiment and theory.

F Nowacki, A Obertelli, A Poves - Progress in Particle and Nuclear Physics, 2021 - Elsevier
In this review, we describe the experimental facilities and methods which make it possible to
produce and measure the properties of the extreme neutron-rich nuclei. We then develop …

The shell-model code NuShellX@ MSU
