Shape coexistence in atomic nuclei
K Heyde, JL Wood - Reviews of Modern Physics, 2011 - APS
Shape coexistence in nuclei appears to be unique in the realm of finite many-body quantum
systems. It differs from the various geometrical arrangements that sometimes occur in a …

Evolution of nuclear shells due to the tensor force
T Otsuka, T Suzuki, R Fujimoto, H Grawe, Y Akaishi - Physical Review Letters, 2005 - APS
The monopole effect of the tensor force is presented, exhibiting how spherical single-particle
energies are shifted as protons or neutrons occupy certain orbits. An analytic relation for …

Evolution of shell structure in exotic nuclei
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 …

New “USD” Hamiltonians for the shell
We derive new Hamiltonians for the sd shell, USDA and USDB, based on a renormalized G
matrix with linear combinations of two-body matrix elements adjusted to fit a complete set of …

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 …
