Radioactive decays at limits of nuclear stability

M Pfützner, M Karny, LV Grigorenko, K Riisager - Reviews of modern physics, 2012 - APS
The last decades brought impressive progress in synthesizing and studying properties of
nuclides located very far from the beta stability line. Among the most fundamental properties …

Multiscale physics of atomic nuclei from first principles

ZH Sun, A Ekström, C Forssén, G Hagen, GR Jansen… - Physical Review X, 2025 - APS
