The Quest for Superheavy Nuclei: A Theoretical Perspective
C. Simenel, Lu Guo, K. Sekizawa
The synthesis of superheavy nuclei (SHNs) lies at the forefront of nuclear physics, enabling researchers to probe the limits of nuclear stability and the influence of shell effects…
The advanced evolution of massive stars: I. New reaction rates for carbon and oxygen nuclear reactions
T. Dumont, A. Bonhomme, A. Griffiths +9
The nuclear rates for reactions involving 12C and 16O are key to compute the energy release and nucleosynthesis of massive stars during their evolution. These rates shape the stell…
Shell effects in quasi-fission for calcium induced reactions forming thorium isotopes
C. Simenel, A. S. Umar, K. Godbey +1
Quantum shell effects induce an asymmetric fission mode in actinides, which disappears in neutron deficient isotopes. Quasi-fission, characterized by a significant mass transfer in…
Universality of Shell Effects in Fusion-Fission Mass Distributions
J. Buete, B. M. A. Swinton-Bland, D. J. Hinde +10
We present the results of a broad, systematic study of heavy-ion induced fission mass distributions for every even-Z compound nucleus () from Gd to T…
Pauli energy contribution to nucleus-nucleus interaction
A. S. Umar, K. Godbey, C. Simenel
The investigation delves into understanding how the Pauli exclusion principle influences the bare potential between atomic nuclei through the application of advanced theoretical me…
Cluster model of 12C in density functional theory framework
A. S. Umar, K. Godbey, C. Simenel
We employ the constrained density functional theory to investigate cluster phenomena for the C nucleus. The proton and neutron densities are generated from the placement of…
