Precision masses of neutron-rich platinum and gold nuclei reveal enhanced shell strength below doubly-magic Pb
David Freire-Fernández, Rui-Jiu Chen, Usama Ahmed +63
The heaviest stable nuclei in the universe owe their existence to quantum shell structure, the grouping of protons and neutrons into discrete energy levels separated by gaps. The l…

Beyond Sphericity in a Semi-Magic Nucleus: Multiple-Shape Coexistence in Sn
Marco Siciliano, Marco Rocchini, Tomás R. RodrÃguez +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…
