Experimental Studies of Unbound Neutron-rich Nuclei
نویسنده
چکیده
The three-body description of two-neutron halo nuclei relies on the two-body interactions between the constituents. In order to provide constraints on calculations devoted to 14 Be and 17 B, the neutron unbound states of 13 Be and 16 B have been investigated by one-proton knockout. The experimental techniques and results are discussed here.

Neutron Shell Breaking in Neutron-Rich Neon Isotopes
The breaking of the N=20 shell gap in neutron-rich nuclei is investigated by studying the single-particle structure of 27Ne via neutron transfer onto a 26Ne beam. The observation of low-lying negative parity states in 27Ne above the 3/2+ ground state is further evidence of the raising of the νd3/2 orbital that is seen in other neutron-rich nuclei in the N=20 region. The previously unseen 7/2− s...
متن کاملRelativistic mean - field study of light nuclei near drip line
The relativistic mean field theory is applied to study some exotic properties of neutron rich nuclei as recently observed, namely, extension of the drip-line for F nuclei from 29 F to 31 F and the appearence of a new shell closure at neutron number N = 16. We find 31 F to be bound against one-neutron dripping but unbound only marginally for two neutron separation. The calculated functional depe...

Theoretical predictions and experimental discoveries for neutron-rich, short-lived nuclei far from stability indicate that the familiar concept of nucleonic shell structure should be considered as less robust than previously thought. The notion of single-particle motion in exotic nuclei is reviewed with a particular focus on three aspects: (i) variations of nuclear mean field with neutron exces...
متن کاملUpper limit of the lifetime of 16B.
The exact location of the drip lines is one of the most stringent tests of nuclear structure models. The predictions for stability of nuclei along the proton drip line can be tested up to very heavy nuclei. Beyond the proton drip line, the large Coulomb barrier and the angular momentum barrier can lead to very long lifetimes for proton-unbound nuclei ~proton radioactivity! @1#. Several of these...
متن کاملShell model studies of neutron rich nuclei ⋆
We discuss the present status of the description of the structure of the very neutron rich nuclei, in the framework of modern large scale shell model calculations. Particular attention is paid to the interaction related issues, as well as to the problems of the shell model approach at the neutron drip line. We present detailed results for nuclei around N=20 and, more briefly, we discuss some sa...
