Microscopic Study of Charge Properties in Halo Nuclei

Employing the relativistic continuum Hartree-Bogoliubov (RCHB) theory with intrinsic electromagnetic structure corrections, this work primarily investigates the charge properties of halo nuclei along the Ne and P isotopic chains. Our results characterize halo nuclei by an extended tail in the charge density and distinct signatures in the charge form factors at low momentum transfer. Moreover, the higher-order radial moments of nuclear charge density, particularly the eighth moment, exhibit pronounced oscillations, serving as a key indicator of the neutron halo structure. These special features in nuclear charge distributions will serve as key references for identifying halo nuclei.

Predictions of charge density distributions for nuclei with $Z \geq 8$

A deep neural network (DNN) has been developed to accurately predict nuclear charge density distributions for nuclei with proton numbers $Z \geq 8$. By incorporating essential nuclear structure features, the model achieves a significant improvement in predictive accuracy over conventional methods. The charge density distributions are analyzed using a Fourier-Bessel (FB) series expansion, and the DNN is trained on a comprehensive dataset derived from relativistic continuum Hartree-Bogoliubov (RCHB) theory calculations. The model demonstrates exceptional performance, with root-mean-square deviations of 0.0123 fm and 0.0198 fm for charge radii on the training and validation sets, respectively, remarkably surpassing the precision of the original RCHB calculations. Beyond advancing nuclear physics research, this high-precision model provides critical data for applications in atomic physics, nuclear astrophysics, and related fields.
