Description of proton-rich nuclei in the $A\sim 20$ region with the Gamow shell model

Abstract

The Gamow shell model is utilized to describe nuclear observables of the weakly bound and resonance isotonic states of ${}^{16}$O at proton drip-line. It is hereby shown that the presence of continuum coupling leads to complex Coulomb contributions in the spectrum of these isotones. The necessity to include the effects of three-body forces, either by a direct calculation or by adding an $A$-dependence to the nucleon-nucleon interaction, already noticed in other theoretical models, is pointed out. It is also demonstrated that our approach is predictive for reaction observables.
