Abstract

The combined considerations of both the bulk liquid-drop-type behavior and the quantized angular momentum reveal that high-spin toroidal isomeric states may have general occurrences for light nuclei with 28 ≤ A ≤ 52. High-spin N=Z toroidal isomers in this mass region have been located theoretically using cranked self-consistent constraint Skyrme–Hartree–Fock model calculations.

Toroidal high-spin isomers in the nucleus ${}^{304}120$

Journal Article Staszczak, A. ; Wong, Cheuk-Yin ; Kosior, A. - Physical Review C

Strongly deformed oblate superheavy nuclei form an intriguing region where the toroidal nuclear structures may bifurcate from the oblate spheroidal shape. The bifurcation may be facilitated when the nucleus is endowed with a large angular moment about the symmetry axis withmore »« less

PARTICLE-HOLE NATURE OF THE LIGHT HIGH-SPIN TOROIDAL ISOMERS

Conference Staszczak, A. ; Wong, Cheuk-Yin

Nuclei under non-collective rotation with a large angular momentum above some threshold can assume a toroidal shape. In our previous work, we showed by using cranked Skyrme Hartree Fock approach that even even, N = Z, high-K, toroidal isomeric states may have general occurrences for light nuclei with 28 < A < 52. We present here some additional results and systematics on the particle-hole nature of these high-spin toroidal isomers.

Theoretical studies of possible toroidal high-spin isomers in the light-mass region

Journal Article Staszczak, A. ; Wong, Cheuk-Yin - EPJ Web of Conferences (Online)

We review our theoretical knowledge of possible toroidal high-spin isomers in the light mass region in 28≤A≤52 obtained previously in cranked Skyrme-Hartree-Fock calculations. We report additional toroidal high-spin isomers in ⁵⁶Ni with I=114ℏ and 140ℏ, which follow the same (multi-particle) (multi-hole) systematics as other toroidal high-spin isomers. We examine the production of these exotic nuclei by fusion of various projectiles on ²⁰Ne or ²⁸Si as an active target in time-projection-chamber (TPC) experiments.

Properties of Superheavy Isotopes Z = 120 and Isotones N = 184 Within the Skyrme–HFB Model

Conference Kosior, Amelia ; Staszczak, A. ; Wong, Cheuk-Yin

We study the nuclear properties of even–even superheavy Z = 120 isotopes and N = 184 isotones with the Skyrme–Hartree–Fock–Bogoliubov (HFB) approach. Within this model, we examine the deformation energy surfaces and two paths to fission: a reflection-symmetric path with elongated fission fragments (sEF) and a reflection-asymmetric path corresponding to elongated fission fragments (aEF). Furthermore, we explore the energy surfaces in the region of very large oblate deformations with toroidal nuclear density distributions. While the energy surfaces of toroidal Z = 120 isotopes and N = 184 isotones do not possess energy minima without angular momenta, local energy minima (toroidalmore »« less

Shell model and mean-field description of band termination in the A{approx}44 nuclei

Journal Article Zalewski, M ; Zdunczuk, H ; Satula, W ; ... - Physical Review. C, Nuclear Physics

We study nuclear high-spin states undergoing the transition to the fully stretched configuration with maximum angular momentum I{sub max} within the space of valence nucleons. To this end, we perform a systematic theoretical analysis of non-fully-stretched I{sub max}-2 and I{sub max}-1 f{sub 7/2}{sup n} seniority isomers and d{sub 3/2}{sup -1}f{sub 7/2}{sup n+1} intruder states in the A{approx}44 nuclei from the lower-fp shell. We employ two theoretical approaches: (i) the density functional theory based on the cranked self-consistent Skyrme-Hartree-Fock method, and (ii) the nuclear shell model in the full sdfp configuration space allowing for 1p-1h cross-shell excitations. We emphasize the importancemore »« less
