Magic Numbers in Exotic Nuclei and Spin-Isospin Properties of the NN Interaction
Journal Article

· Physical Review Letters
The magic numbers in exotic nuclei are discussed, and their novel origin is shown to be the spin-isospin dependent part of the nucleon-nucleon interaction in nuclei. The importance and robustness of this mechanism is shown in terms of meson exchange, G-matrix, and QCD theories. In neutron-rich exotic nuclei, magic numbers such as N=8, 20, etc.can disappear, while N=6, 16, etc.arise, affecting the structure of the lightest exotic nuclei to nucleosynthesis of heavy elements.
