Investigating Nuclear Shell Evolution in Neutron-Rich Calcium Isotopes
Speaker: Robin Coleman
Date: Friday February 10th, 2023
Abstract
Nuclei away from the line of stability have been found to demonstrate behavior that is inconsistent with the traditional magic numbers of the spherical shell model. This has led to the concept of the evolution of nuclear shell structure in exotic nuclei, and the neutron-rich calcium isotopes are a key testing ground of these theories; there have been conflicting results from various...
