nuclei. The description is based on the tilted-axis cranking model, which takes into account …

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 …

Probing triaxial deformation of atomic nuclei in high-energy heavy ion collisions

J Jia - Physical Review C, 2022 - APS
Most atomic nuclei are deformed with a quadrupole shape described by its overall strength β
