Semiclassical Description of Exotic Nuclear Shapes
نویسنده
چکیده
Exotic nuclear structures such as bubbles and tori are analyzed through semiclassical extended Thomas-Fermi calculations with the Skyrme force SkM. The variational equations for neutron and proton densities are solved fully self-consistently in spherical (bubbles) and cylindrical (tori) symmetries. The possible existence of bubble configurations in some astrophysical scenarios is discussed. The stability of toroidal structures against change of quadrupole moment is studied. A global minimum of the energy is found in heavy toroidal nuclei.

We present a semiclassical and mostly analytical model of elastic neutron breakup reactions for exotic projectiles. Both nuclear and Coulomb induced reactions are considered and the potentials are treated to all orders in the interactions. Furthermore we introduce a technique which allows the use of the full Coulomb potential, thus including all multipoles besides the dipole. Results for deeply...

Heavy ion experiments provide important data to test astrophysical models. The high density equation of state can be probed in HI collisions and applied to the hot protoneutron star formed in core collapse supernovae. The Parity Radius Experiment (PREX) aims to accurately measure the neutron radius of Pb with parity violating electron scattering. This determines the pressure of neutron rich mat...
متن کاملPeriodic-Orbit Bifurcation and Shell Structure at Exotic Deformation
By means of periodic orbit theory and deformed cavity model, we have investigated semiclassical origin of superdeformed shell structure and also of reflection-asymmetric deformed shapes. Systematic analysis of quantum-classical correspondence reveals that bifurcation of equatorial orbits into three-dimensional ones play predominant role in the formation of these shell structures. PACS number: 2...
متن کاملSemiclassical Interpretation of the Mass Asymmetry in Nuclear Fission
We give a semiclassical interpretation of the mass asymmetry in the fission of heavy nuclei. Using only a few classical periodic orbits and a cavity model for the nuclear mean field, we reproduce the onset of left-right asymmetric shapes at the fission isomer minimum and the correct topology of the deformation energy surface in the region of the outer fission barrier. We point at the correspond...
