Imaging shapes of atomic nuclei in high-energy nuclear collisions

Nature, 2024 - nature.com
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 …

An extensive, model-independent analysis of the nature of triaxial deformation in Ge 76, a
candidate for neutrinoless double-beta (0 ν β β) decay, was carried out following multistep …

Microscopic benchmark study of triaxiality in low-lying states of

JM Yao, K Hagino, ZP Li, J Meng, P Ring - Physical Review C, 2014 - APS
We report on a seven-dimensional generator coordinate calculation in the two deformation
parameters β and γ together with projection on three-dimensional angular momentum and …

Neutrinoless double- decay matrix elements in large shell-model spaces with the generator-coordinate method

CF Jiao, J Engel, JD Holt - Physical Review C, 2017 - APS
We use the generator-coordinate method (GCM) with realistic shell-model interactions to
closely approximate full shell-model calculations of the matrix elements for the neutrinoless …

Charge-exchange reactions and the quest for resolution

D Frekers, M Alanssari - The European Physical Journal A, 2018 - Springer
Hadronic charge-exchange reactions of the type (n, p) and (p, n) at intermediate energies
between roughly 100 and 300MeV per nucleon have gained in importance over the last 25 …
