Enhanced low-energy -decay strength of Ni and its robustness within the shell model

A. C. Larsen, J. E. Midtbø, M. Guttormsen +19

Neutron-capture reactions on very neutron-rich nuclei are essential for heavy-element nucleosynthesis through the rapid neutron-capture process, now shown to take place in neutron-…

Quantum phase transitions and collective enhancement of level density in odd-A and odd-odd nuclei

S. Karampagia, A. Renzaglia, V. Zelevinsky

The nuclear shell model assumes an effective mean-field plus interaction Hamiltonian in a specific configuration space. We want to understand how various interaction matrix element…

Regularity and chaos in 0+ states of the interacting boson model using quantum measures

S. Karampagia, Dennis Bonatsos, R. F. Casten

Statistical measures of chaos have long been used in the study of chaotic dynamics in the framework of the interacting boson model. The use of large number of bosons renders additi…

Analytic derivation of an approximate SU(3) symmetry inside the symmetry triangle of the Interacting Boson Approximation model

Dennis Bonatsos, S. Karampagia, R. F. Casten

Using the contraction of the SU(3) algebra to the algebra of the rigid rotator in the large boson number limit of the Interacting Boson Approximation (IBA) model, a line is found i…
