Patterns of spin and pseudo-spin symmetries in nuclear relativistic mean-field approaches
L. Heitz, J. P. Ebran, E. Khan
The behavior of spin doublets is known to play a major role in nuclear structure and shell effects. Pseudo-spin doublets are also known to impact the single-particle spectrum. The…
A unified mechanism for the origin and evolution of nuclear magicity
L. Heitz, J. -P. Ebran, E. Khan +1
A simple pattern of organization, the nuclear shell structure, emerges from the complex interactions between nucleons in nuclei and determines, to some significant degree, nuclear…
Use of quantality in nuclei and many-body systems
J. -P. Ebran, L. Heitz, E. Khan
The use of quantality is discussed in the case of nuclei and other many-body systems such as atomic electrons. This dimensionless quantity is known to indicate when a many-body sys…
Microscopic description of , , and cluster decays of Rn and Ra
J. Zhao, J. -P. Ebran, L. Heitz +4
Alpha and cluster decays are analyzed for heavy nuclei located above Pb on the chart of nuclides: Rn and Ra, that are also candidates for observing…
Alpha-particle formation and clustering in nuclei
E. Khan, L. Heitz, F. Mercier +1
The nucleonic localization function has been used for a decade to study the formation of alpha-particles in nuclei, by providing a measure of having nucleons of a given spin in a s…
