Several properties of atomic nuclei are known to be sensitive to the neutron-to-proton (isospin) asymmetry. In particular, the evolution of the single-particle strength as a function of isospin has been the subject of experimental and theoretical debate.
Quasi-free scattering (QFS) reaction is an established method to probe the structure of atomic nuclei. This reaction in inverse kinematics...
Astrophysical objects such as neutron star formation and structure and supernovae explosion, as well as nuclei properties and structure are described using the equation of state of nuclear matter. However, the coefficients of the equation state describing the nuclear matter with a huge charge asymmetry, notably the symmetry energy, is lacking constraints [1,2].
When a medium-to-heavy...
Nuclear shell evolution towards the driplines, characterized by the quenching or collapse of conventional magic numbers, may lead to the emergence of new sub-shell closures. Notably, the calcium isotopes, featuring a robust proton Z = 20 shell closure and encompassing the doubly magic isotopes 40Ca and 48Ca, alongside experimental evidence of new neutron sub-shell closures at N = 32 and 34, ...
