Shape coexistence in atomic nuclei
Kristiaan Heyde,John L Wood +1 more
TL;DR: The theoretical status of coexistence in nuclei is summarized in this article, where microscopic shell-model descriptions and mean-field descriptions are emphasized, and a systematic data for both even and odd-mass nuclei, selected to illustrate the various ways in which coexistence is observed in nucleis.

Nuclear magic numbers: New features far from stability
O. Sorlin,M.-G. Porquet +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the structural evolution along the isotonic and isotopic chains around the “traditional” magic numbers 8, 20, 28, 50, 82 and 126 is discussed using complementary experimental information, such as the binding energies of the orbits bounding the shell gaps.
Journal ArticleDOI
The clustered nucleus—cluster structures in stable and unstable nuclei
TL;DR: In this paper, a review of the development of clustering in light nuclei is presented, mostly from the stand-point of the harmonic oscillator framework, which allows a unifying description of alpha-conjugate and neutron-rich nuclei.
Journal ArticleDOI
Microscopic clustering in light nuclei
TL;DR: In most nuclei, protons and neutrons are smoothly distributed throughout the nuclear volume. Exceptions to this rule are molecularlike states, especially in light nuclei where light nuclear clusters such as alpha particles are present as discussed by the authors.

Global performance of covariant energy density functionals: ground state observables of even-even nuclei and the estimate of theoretical uncertainties
TL;DR: In this article, a large-scale axial relativistic Hartree-Bogoliubov calculations are performed for all even-even nuclei between the two-proton and two-neutron drip lines with four modern covariant energy density functionals such as NL3*, DD-ME2, DD- ME$\ensuremath{\delta}$, and DD-PC1.

A Molecular-Orbital Model of the Atomic Nuclei
TL;DR: In this article, a new nuclear model is proposed that describes the cluster and the shell structures unifiedly, and the model is analogous to the LCAO-MO-SCF method in the molecular physics.
Journal ArticleDOI
Signatures of molecular single-particle states by level crossings in heavy ion collisions
TL;DR: In this paper, level diagrams of the two-center shell model for the target projectile combinations were calculated for asymmetric heavy ion collisions, and the level diagrams were analyzed in terms of the energy dependence of the cross sections.
Journal ArticleDOI
Microscopic three-cluster study of the low-energy 9 Be photodisintegration
TL;DR: In this paper, the 9Be and 9B nuclei were investigated in a microscopic three-cluster model involving α + α + ��n (or α+ α+ ��p) configurations.
Journal ArticleDOI
Angular correlations in heavy ion reactions
S. Marsh,W.D.M. Rae +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the properties of the in-plane correlation between the initial scattering angle and the angle at which subsequent particle decay occurs, following a forward angle heavy ion reaction, were examined.
Journal ArticleDOI
Alpha-neutron rings and chains
TL;DR: In this article, the authors explored semi-quantitatively the possibility of spinning rings of α-particles held together by circumambient neutrons, which may break open to yield rotating αn chains.
