Beyond Sphericity in a Semi-Magic Nucleus: Multiple-Shape Coexistence in Sn
Marco Siciliano, Marco Rocchini, Tomás R. Rodríguez +43
The study of nuclear shape evolution and coexistence provides key insight into the nuclear interaction, particularly in semi-magic systems expected to be spherical. A high-precisio…
The observation of vibrating pear shapes in radon nuclei: update
P. A. Butler, L. P. Gaffney, P. Spagnoletti +41
There is a large body of evidence that atomic nuclei can undergo octupole distortion and assume the shape of a pear. This phenomenon is important for measurements of electric-dipol…
Evolution of Octupole Deformation in Radium Nuclei from Coulomb Excitation of Radioactive Ra and Ra Beams
P. A. Butler, L. P. Gaffney, P. Spagnoletti +40
There is sparse direct experimental evidence that atomic nuclei can exhibit stable pear shapes arising from strong octupole correlations. In order to investigate the nature of octu…
