Hidden pseudospin and spin symmetries and their origins in atomic nuclei

H Liang, J Meng, SG Zhou - Physics Reports, 2015 - Elsevier
Symmetry plays a fundamental role in physics. The quasi-degeneracy between single-
particle orbitals (n, l, j= l+ 1/2) and (n− 1, l+ 2, j= l+ 3/2) indicates a hidden symmetry in …

Bayesian approach to model-based extrapolation of nuclear observables

L Neufcourt, Y Cao, W Nazarewicz, F Viens - Physical Review C, 2018 - APS
Background: The mass, or binding energy, is the basis property of the atomic nucleus. It
determines its stability and reaction and decay rates. Quantifying the nuclear binding is …
