Evolution of shell structure in exotic nuclei

T Otsuka, A Gade, O Sorlin, T Suzuki, Y Utsuno - Reviews of modern physics, 2020 - APS
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 …

Coupled-cluster computations of atomic nuclei

G Hagen, T Papenbrock… - Reports on Progress …, 2014 - iopscience.iop.org
In the past decade, coupled-cluster theory has seen a renaissance in nuclear physics, with
computations of neutron-rich and medium-mass nuclei. The method is efficient for nuclei …

Unexpectedly large charge radii of neutron-rich calcium isotopes

RF Garcia Ruiz, ML Bissell, K Blaum, A Ekström… - Nature Physics, 2016 - nature.com
Despite being a complex many-body system, the atomic nucleus exhibits simple structures
for certain 'magic'numbers of protons and neutrons. The calcium chain in particular is both …

Evidence for a new nuclear 'magic number' from the level structure of 54Ca

D Steppenbeck, S Takeuchi, N Aoi, P Doornenbal… - Nature, 2013 - nature.com
