Bubbles in Si and O?

M. Grasso, L. Gaudefroy, E. Khan +5

Bubble nuclei are characterized by a depletion of their central density. Their existence is examined within three different theoretical frameworks: the shell model as well as non-r…

Detecting bubbles in exotic nuclei

E. Khan, M. Grasso, J. Margueron +1

The occurrence of a bubble, due to an inversion of s state with the state usually located above, is investigated. Proton bubbles in neutron-rich Argon isotopes are optimal…

Evolution of the proton sd states in neutron-rich Ca isotopes

M. Grasso, Z. Y. Ma, E. Khan +2

We analyze the evolution with increasing isospin asymmetry of the proton single-particle states 2s1/2 and 1d3/2 in Ca isotopes, using non-relativistic and relativistic mean field a…

On the validity of the Wigner-Seitz approximation in neutron star crust

N. Chamel, S. Naimi, E. Khan +1

The inner crust of neutron stars formed of nuclear clusters immersed in a neutron sea has been widely studied in the framework of the Wigner-Seitz approximation since the seminal w…

Pairing interactions and the vanishing pairing correlations in hot nuclei

E. Khan, Nguyen Van Giai, N. Sandulescu

Finite temperature Hartree-Fock-Bogoliubov calculations are performed in Sn isotopes using Skyrme and zero-range, density-dependent pairing interactions. For both stable and very n…

Extragalactic cosmic-ray source composition and the interpretation of the ankle

D. Allard, E. Parizot, A. V. Olinto +2

We consider the stochastic propagation of high-energy protons and nuclei in the cosmological microwave and infrared backgrounds, using revised photonuclear cross-sections and follo…
