Magic numbers for shape coexistence
I. E. Assimakis, D. Bonatsos, A. Martinou +4
The increasing deformation in atomic nuclei leads to the change of the classical magic numbers (2,8,20,28,50,82..) which dictate the arrangement of nucleons in complete shells. The…
Highest weight SU(3) irreducible representations for nuclei with shape coexistence
A. Martinou, D. Bonatsos, N. Minkov +3
The SU(3) irreducible representations (irreps) are characterised by the (lambda, mu) Elliott quantum numbers, which are necessary for the extraction of the nuclear deformation, the…
Why do Nilsson quantum numbers remain good at moderate deformations?
D. Bonatsos, I. E. Assimakis, A. Martinou +3
The Nilsson model is a simple microscopic model which has been extensively used over the years for the interpretation of a bulk of experimental results. The single particle orbital…
Nucleon numbers for nuclei with shape coexistence
A. Martinou, D. Bonatsos, N. Minkov +4
We consider two competing sets of nuclear magic numbers, namely the harmonic oscillator (HO) set (2, 8, 20, 40, 70, 112, 168, 240,...) and the set corresponding to the proxy-SU(3)…
Particle-hole symmetry breaking due to Pauli blocking
D. Bonatsos, I. E. Assimakis, A. Martinou +3
Particle-hole symmetry has been used on several occasions in nuclear structure over the years. We prove that particle-hole symmetry is broken in nuclear shells possessing the proxy…
