A Giant Halo at the Neutron Drip Line
نویسنده
چکیده
Relativistic Hartree-Bogoliubov (RHB) theory in coordinate space is used to describe the chain of even-even Zirconium isotopes reaching from Zr to the drip line nucleus Zr. Pairing correlations are taken into account by a density dependent force of zero range. For neutron numbers larger than the magic number N = 82 a giant neutron halo outside the core of Zr is observed. It is formed by up to six neutrons.

The Relativistic Hartree Bogoliubov theory is applied in the mean-field approximation to the description of properties of light nuclei with large neutron excess. Pairing correlations and the coupling to particle continuum states are described by finite range two-body forces. Using standard parameter sets for the mean-field Lagrangian and the pairing interaction of Gogny-type, self-consistent so...
متن کاملSe p 19 99 On the nucleon instability of heavy oxygen isotopes
The instability of the O nucleus with respect to decay through the twoneutron channel is investigated. It is shown that this isotope, unobserved in the fragmentation experiments, can exist as a narrow resonance in the system O + 2n. A role of deformation in formation of the neutron-drip line in the region N ∼ 20 is discussed. The structure of nucelei near the neutron-drip line possesses interes...

The Relativistic Continuum Hartree Bogoliubov theory ( RCHB ), which is the extension of the Relativistic Mean Field and the Bogoliubov transformation in the coordinate representation, has been used to study tin isotopes. The pairing correlation is taken into account by a density-dependent force of zero range. RCHB is used to describe the even-even tin isotopes all the way from the proton drip ...
متن کاملMeasurements of interaction cross sections for light unstable nuclei
Recent experimental results concerning interaction cross sections (σI) are reviewed. σI values have been measured by a transmission method using the fragment separator at GSI. The σI values for B, C, N, O, and F isotopes are presented. By using Glauber-model analysis, the effective matter radii for light neutron-rich nuclei can be deduced. The recently shown magic number, N = 16, near the neutr...
متن کاملRelativistic mean field study of neutron rich even-even C and Be isotopes
Ground state properties of neutron rich even-even Be and C nuclei have been investigated using Relativistic Mean Field approach in co-ordinate space. The positions of the neutron drip line are correctly predicted for both the elements. The nucleus Be shows a two neutron halo but, contrary to expectation, C does not exhibit any halo structure. In carbon nuclei, N=16 comes out as a new magic numb...
