Nuclear magic numbers: New features far from stability
O Sorlin, MG Porquet - Progress in Particle and Nuclear Physics, 2008 - Elsevier
The main purpose of the present manuscript is to review the structural evolution along the
isotonic and isotopic chains around the “traditional” magic numbers 8, 20, 28, 50, 82 and …

Hidden pseudospin and spin symmetries and their origins in atomic nuclei
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 …

Shape transitions in exotic Si and S isotopes and tensor-force-driven Jahn-Teller effect
We show how shape transitions in the neutron-rich exotic Si and S isotopes occur in terms of
shell-model calculations with a newly constructed Hamiltonian based on V MU interaction …
