An experimental view on shape coexistence in nuclei

PE Garrett, M Zielińska, E Clément - Progress in Particle and Nuclear …, 2022 - Elsevier
Nuclear shape coexistence is the phenomenon in which distinct shapes occur within the
same nucleus and at a similar energy. In this work, we provide an overview of the …

Exotic nuclei explored at in-flight separators

T Nakamura, H Sakurai, H Watanabe - Progress in Particle and Nuclear …, 2017 - Elsevier
In-flight separators have played a significant role in the physics of exotic nuclei. In the last

Ab initio computations of strongly deformed nuclei near

BS Hu, ZH Sun, G Hagen, T Papenbrock - Physical Review C, 2024 - APS
Nuclei around N≈ Z≈ 40 are strongly deformed and exhibit coexistence of shapes. These
phenomena have challenged nuclear models. Here, we perform ab initio coupled-cluster …

Nilsson-SU3 self-consistency in heavy nuclei

AP Zuker, A Poves, F Nowacki, SM Lenzi - Physical Review C, 2015 - APS
It is argued that there exist natural shell-model spaces optimally adapted to the operation of
two variants of Elliott's SU3 symmetry that provide accurate predictions of quadrupole …

Longitudinal wobbling in 133La

S Biswas, R Palit, S Frauendorf, U Garg, W Li… - The European Physical …, 2019 - Springer
Excited states of 133 La have been investigated to search for the wobbling excitation mode
in the low-spin regime. Wobbling bands with n_ω=0 n ω= 0 and 1 are identified along with …
