A comprehensive view of nuclear shapes, rotations and vibrations from fully quantum mechanical perspectives
Takaharu Otsuka
The nuclear quadrupole collective states at low excitation energies are described in a novel, fully quantum mechanical and systematic manner as compared to traditional pictures ini…
Level Structures of Ca Cast Doubt on a doubly magic Ca
S. Chen, F. Browne, P. Doornenbal +80
Gamma decays were observed in Ca and Ca following quasi-free one-proton knockout reactions from Sc beams at MeV/nucleon. For Ca, a …
Intruder configurations in Ne at the transition into the island of inversion: Detailed structure study of Ne
H. Wang, M. Yasuda, Y. Kondo +92
Detailed -ray spectroscopy of the exotic neon isotope Ne has been performed for the first time using the one-neutron removal reaction from Ne on a liquid hydrogen…
Shape transition of Nd and Sm isotopes and neutrinoless double-beta decay nuclear matrix element of Nd
Yusuke Tsunoda, Noritaka Shimizu, Takaharu Otsuka
Neutron-rich Nd and Sm isotopes are known to exhibit shape phase transition as a function of neutron number. Among them, Nd and Sm are important not only because th…
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…
Cross-shell states in C: a test for p-sd interactions
J. Lois-Fuentes, B. Fernández-Domínguez, X. Pereira-López +59
The low-lying structure of C has been investigated via the neutron-removal C reaction. Along with bound neutron sd-shell hole states, unbound p-shell hole stat…
