Rapid structural evolution of neutron-rich silicon isotopes toward N = 28
G. L. Zimba, H. Iwasaki, B. A. Brown +27
Neutron-rich Si isotopes represent a unique case of shell evolution, exhibiting a robust shell closure at and pronounced quadrupole collectivity at . We report lifet…

Prevailing Triaxial Shapes in Atomic Nuclei and a Quantum Theory of Rotation of Composite Objects
T. Otsuka, Y. Tsunoda, N. Shimizu +3
In the traditional view, heavy deformed nuclei are like axially-symmetric prolate ellipsoids, rotating about one of the short axes. In the present picture, their shapes may be tria…
