1 Nuclei beyond the drip line
نویسنده
چکیده
In a Thomas-Fermi model, calculations are presented for nuclei beyond the nuclear drip line at zero temperature. These nuclei are in equilibrium by the presence of an external gas, as may be envisaged in the astrophysical scenario. We find that there is a limiting asymmetry beyond which these nuclei can no longer be made stable.

Theoretical Determination of Γ in Neutron-Rich Oxygen Isotopes
Oxygen is the heaviest atom for which the neutron drip line is known, and experiments to measure the properties of nuclei beyond the drip line are underway. Furthermore, more experiments are currently in the developmental stages to study these nuclei, which cannot be directly measured. However, they can be indirectly measured and identified by observing the products of their decays. To aid in t...
متن کاملRelativistic Hartree-Bogoliubov and RPA description of exotic nuclear structure
A review of recent applications of the relativistic mean-field theory to the structure of exotic nuclei is presented. Models based on the relativistic mean-field approximation provide a microscopically consistent description of the nuclear many-body problem, not only in nuclei along the valley of β-stability, but also in exotic nuclei with extreme isospin values and close to the particle drip l...
متن کاملStructure of nuclei beyond the dripline
Fast beams of exotic nuclei produced in fragmentation reactions were used to study nuclei beyond the drip line, where in particular the structure of unbound N = 7 isotopes was explored. An s-wave ground state was established in 10Li and observed for the first time in 9He. A coincidence experiment with γ-rays confirmed that the s-state in 10Li is indeed the ground state. Systematics of proton se...
متن کاملContinuum effects on the pairing in neutron drip-line nuclei studied with the canonical-basis HFB method
The canonical-basis HFB method provides an efficient way to describe pairing correlations involving the continuum part of the single-particle spectrum in coordinate-space representations. It can be applied to super-conducting deformed drip-line nuclei as easily as to stable or spherical nuclei. This method is applied to a simulation of the approach to the neutron drip line. It turns out that th...
متن کامل0 Mapping the proton drip line from Z = 31 to Z = 49
The structure of proton drip line nuclei in the 60 < A < 100 mass range is studied with the Relativistic Hartree Bogoliubov (RHB) model. For the elements which determine the astrophysical rapid proton capture process path, the RHB model predicts the location of the proton drip-line, the ground-state quadrupole deformations and one-proton separation energies at and beyond the drip-line. The resu...
