Theoretical predictions for the magnetic dipole moment of Th
Nikolay Minkov, Adriana Pálffy
A recent laser spectroscopy experiment [J. Thielking et al., Nature (London) 556, 321 (2018)] has determined for the first time the magnetic dipole moment of the 7.8 eV isomeric st…
Magic numbers for shape coexistence
I. E. Assimakis, D. Bonatsos, A. Martinou +4
The increasing deformation in atomic nuclei leads to the change of the classical magic numbers (2,8,20,28,50,82..) which dictate the arrangement of nucleons in complete shells. The…
Highest weight SU(3) irreducible representations for nuclei with shape coexistence
A. Martinou, D. Bonatsos, N. Minkov +3
The SU(3) irreducible representations (irreps) are characterised by the (lambda, mu) Elliott quantum numbers, which are necessary for the extraction of the nuclear deformation, the…
Particle-hole symmetry breaking due to Pauli blocking
D. Bonatsos, I. E. Assimakis, A. Martinou +3
Particle-hole symmetry has been used on several occasions in nuclear structure over the years. We prove that particle-hole symmetry is broken in nuclear shells possessing the proxy…
The electric quadrupole channel of the 7.8 eV transition
Pavlo V. Bilous, Nikolay Minkov, Adriana Pálffy
The unique isomeric transition at 7.8 eV in has a magnetic dipole () and an electric quadrupole () multipole mixing. So far, the component has bee…
