Emergence of Cluster Formation in Light Nuclei
José Nicolás Orce, Manfred Jason Jaftha
Spherical harmonics form a complete orthonormal basis which allows any function on the sphere to be expanded. The nuclear shape of a given eigenstate can thus be described within B…
In Search of Truth: In memory of Balraj Singh
José Nicolás Orce, Boris Pritychenko, Tibor Kibédi +1
Born in Punjab (India) in December 1941, Balraj Singh is not only the single most prolific nuclear data evaluator and disseminator of nuclear structure and decay data with 148 eval…
Triaxial nuclear shapes from simple ratios of electric-quadrupole matrix elements
Elena Atanassova Lawrie, José Nicolás Orce
Theoretical models often invoke triaxial nuclear shapes to explain elusive collective phenomena, but such assumptions are usually difficult to confirm experimentally. The only dire…
Subshell gaps and onsets of collectivity from proton and neutron pairing gap correlations
José Nicolás Orce
Throughout the nuclear chart, particle-hole correlations give rise to giant resonances and, together with the proton-neutron interaction, deformation and rotational bands. In order…
