Guided by the formalism developed for studies of single-nucleon transfer reactions in deformed nuclei [1], we have analyzed spectroscopic factors data in the Islands of Inversion at N=8 and 20, in the rotational strong-coupling limit.
Based on the fact that intruder deformed configurations dominate the low-lying structure of nuclei within the Islands of Inversion, the Nilsson formalism...
The nuclear driplines are defined by instability with respect to particle emission, and therefore the entire spectra of the systems beyond the driplines are continuous. The first emission threshold in the light even systems is often, due to pairing interaction, the threshold for two-neutron or two-proton emission, and therefore one has to deal with three-body continuum. Such continuum provides...
The structure of neutron-deficient nuclei plays a vital role in nucleosynthesis via the rp process. Near the proton drip line, the Q values of (p,g) reactions are low and the reaction rates are dominated by single resonances and direct capture. We present here studies of 25Si and 26P produced through one-neutron knockout and charge exchange at the National Superconducting Cyclotron Laboratory...
Charge-exchange reactions at intermediate beam energies have been a powerful tool for studying spin-isospin responses of nuclei. They become even more powerful when rare isotope beams are utilized or when combined with gamma-ray spectroscopy, as they gain new spin-isospin selectivities that are not possible with conventional reaction probes, or allow for pinning down specific excitations with...
An experimentally constrained equation-of-state (EoS) of neutron-rich matter is one of the fundamental goals in nuclear physics that has not been reached yet.The asymmetry term of the EoS is usually expressed by the symmetry energy, with its parameters representing its value $J$ and slope $L$ at saturation density. To date, in particular the parameter $L$ is still poorly known. One method to...
