Full-Spectrum Quantum Simulation for the Nuclear Shell Model
B. Maheshwari, P. Stevenson, P. Van Isacker
The nuclear shell model is a general way of expressing the many-body nuclear Hamiltonian and deciphering the underlying nuclear structure. In today's era of modern and high-power c…
Hindered Dipole Strength in octupole bands in Gd from Lifetime Measurements with fast timing technique
A. Pal, S. Basak, D. Kumar +7
The lifetimes of the low-lying negative-parity state at 1414~keV and state at 1398~keV in Gd have been measured using the -- fast-timing technique with…
Single-step Quantum Simulation of Two Nucleons
Bhoomika Maheshwari, Paul Stevenson, P. Van Isacker
Quantum computing offers a scalable approach to solving the nuclear shell model, a highly complex and exponentially scaled many-body problem. This work presents a numerical simulat…
Origin of the electric hexadecapole isomer in Mo
B. Maheshwari, P. Van Isacker, P. M. Walker
We present a shell-model analysis of Mo to investigate the unusual behavior of its isomer -- a prominent candidate for nuclear excitation by electronic capture. T…
Quantifying neutron-proton interactions in isotones: from NEEC candidate Mo to Cd
B. Maheshwari, P. Van Isacker, P. M. Walker
We present a shell-model analysis of isotones, Mo, Ru, Pd, and Cd, to quantify the role of neutron-proton interactions in shaping the location an…
Vibrational structure and symmetry in Cd
A. Leviatan, J. E. Garcà a-Ramos, N. Gavrielov +1
We show that a vibrational interpretation and good U(5) symmetry are maintained for the majority of low-lying normal states in Cd isotopes, consistent with the…
