Systematic Study of Triaxial Deformation in the Relativistic Mean Field Theory

We use the relativistic mean field (RMF) theory to systematically study the change of deformation of even-even nuclei in the proton-rich Xe region. We investigate the appearance of triaxial deformation in 25 nuclei in the region covering Z=50-58 and N=64-72 by performing constrained, triaxially symmetric RMF calculations of their energy surfaces. We include pairing correlations using the BCS formalism. We find that the Sn isotopes are spherical and the Te isotopes are very gamma unstable with shallow minima around gamma = 60 degrees. Adding more protons, the Xe, Ba and Ce isotopes have prolate deformations with their sizes increasing with proton number. The neutron number dependence is found to be small. We compare the calculated results with the available experimented data on the binding energy and the radii.

The surface diffuseness and the spin-orbital splitting in relativistic continuum Hartree-Bogoliubov theory

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 line to the neutron drip line. The contribution of the continuum which is important for nuclei near the drip-line has been taken into account. The theoretical $S_{2n}$ as well as the neutron, proton, and matter $rms$ radii are presented and compared with the experimental values where they exist. The change of the potential surface with the neutron number has been investigated. The diffuseness of the potentials in tin isotopes is analyzed through the spin-orbital splitting in order to provide new way to understand the halo phenomena in exotic nuclei. The systematic of the isospin and energy dependence of these results are extracted and analyzed.

The proton and neutron distribution in Na isotopes: the development of halo and shell structure

The interaction cross sections for $^A Na + ^{12}C$ reaction are calculated using Glauber model. The continuum Hartree-Bogoliubov theory has been generalized to treat the odd particle system and take the continuum into account. The theory reproduces the experimental result quite well. The matter distributions from the proton drip line to the neutron drip line in Na isotopes have been systematically studied and presented. The relation between the shell effects and the halos has been examined. The tail of the matter distribution shows a strong dependence on the shell structure. The neutron N=28 closure shell fails to appear due to the coming down of the $2p_{3/2}$ and $2p_{1/2}$. The development of the halo was understood as changes in the occupation in the next shell or the sub-shell close to the continuum limit. The central proton density is found to be decreasing near the neutron drip line, which is due to the proton-neutron interaction. However the diffuseness of the proton density does not change for the whole Na isotopes.

Study of the levels in $^{17}$C above the $^{16}$C + neutron threshold

The $β$-delayed neutron decay of $^{17}$B was studied using a radioactive ion beam. The neutron energies, measured via time-of-flight, give information on states in $^{17}$C above the $^{16}$C + neutron threshold. States in $^{17}$C were found at excitation energies of 2.25(2) MeV, 2.64(2) MeV and 3.82(5) MeV, and possibly at 1.18(1) MeV. These low lying states are of possible interest for nuclear physics as well as for astrophysics.
