Shell model studies of neutron rich nuclei ⋆

چکیده
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 salient features of the regions close to N=8, 28 and 40. We show that most experimental features can be understood in a shell model context.

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...

We demonstrate the feasibility of realistic Shell Model Monte Carlo (SMMC) calculations spanning multiple major shells, paying particular attention to the center-of-mass motion. We then use this method to study a series of unstable neutron-rich nuclei with active nucleons in both the sd and pf major oscillator shells. In particular, we study nuclei around the two presumed shell closures at N = ...
متن کاملShell-model calculations for neutron-rich nuclei in the Oflp shell
A new two-body interaction recently derived for nuclei in the 0flp shell by fitting two-body matrix elements to 494 energy levels in A = 41-66 nuclei, is used to investigate the neutron-rich nuclei in the vicinity of the doubly closed nuclide 48Ca. This study is of fundamental interest in providing a test for the new effective interaction away from the stability line. Masses and binding energie...
متن کاملDirect evidence for the onset of intruder configurations in neutron-rich Ne isotopes
Monte Carlo shell-model calculations with the modern SDPF-M interaction successfully describe neutron-rich nuclei in the vicinity of N = 20 where normal and intruder configurations coexist at low excitation energy. We report on direct experimental evidence of the population of the 3/2− intruder state in 27Ne in the knockout of a single neutron from the ground state of 28Ne. This low-lying negat...
متن کاملNew way for the production of heavy neutron-rich nuclei
A new way is found to discover and examine unknown neutron-rich heavy nuclei at the ‘north-east’ part of the nuclear map. This ‘blank spot’ of the nuclear map can be reached neither in fusion–fission reactions nor in fragmentation processes widely used nowadays for the production of new nuclei. The present limits of the upper part of the nuclear map are very close to stability while the unexplo...
