Title: Evidence for prevalent Z = 6 magic number in neutron-rich carbon isotopes

Abstract

Here, the nuclear shell structure, which originates in the nearly independent motion of nucleons in an average potential, provides an important guide for our understanding of nuclear structure and the underlying nuclear forces. Its most remarkable fingerprint is the existence of the so-called magic numbers of protons and neutrons associated with extra stability. Although the introduction of a phenomenological spin–orbit (SO) coupling force in 1949 helped in explaining the magic numbers, its origins are still open questions. Here, we present experimental evidence for the smallest SO-originated magic number (subshell closure) at the proton number six in C obtained from systematic analysis of point-proton distribution radii, electromagnetic transition rates and atomic masses of light nuclei. Performing ab initio calculations on C, we show that the observed proton distribution radii and subshell closure can be explained by the state-of-the-art nuclear theory with chiral nucleon–nucleon and three-nucleon forces, which are rooted in the quantum chromodynamics.

The magic nature of 132Sn explored through the single-particle states of 133Sn

Journal Article Jones, K L ; Adekola, Aderemi S ; Bardayan, Daniel W ; ... - Nature

Atomic nuclei have a shell structure1 in which nuclei with magic numbers of neutrons and protons are analogous to the noble gases in atomic physics. Only ten nuclei with the standard magic numbers of both neutrons and protons have so far been observed. The nuclear shell model is founded on the precept that neutrons and protons can move as independent particles in orbitals with discrete quantum numbers, subject to a mean field generated by all the other nucleons. Knowledge of the properties of single-particle states outside nuclear shell closures in exotic nuclei is important2 5 for a fundamental understanding ofmore »« less

Complementary Nucleon Pick-up and Stripping Experiments and New Data on Nuclear Subshells

Journal Article Boboshin, I N ; Varlamov, V V - AIP Conference Proceedings

Due to significant systematical errors of the experimental nuclear spectroscopy data obtained by different methods one is often forced to deal with very discrepant data. To remove the systematical errors and increase data accuracy and reliability, new data-processing technologies were developed. One can obtain also new information that has not (could not) been obtained before. It is shown that energies of the first 2+ levels in Zr isotopes can be explained in the framework of the shell-model approach. A separation of 2d5/2 subshell in 96Zr (like 1f7/2 subshell in 48Ca) is found, so the neutron number N = 56 becomesmore »« less

New Data on Nuclear Subshells Obtained from the Analysis of the Information from the International Database on Nuclear Structure ENSDF

Journal Article Boboshin, I N ; Varlamov, V V ; Ishkhanov, B S ; ... - Physics of Atomic Nuclei

In the last decade, a large amount of experimental nuclear spectroscopy data was obtained. This is good progress really, but a new very serious problem appears. Due to significant systematic errors of the data, one is often forced to deal with very discrepant data and often it is difficult to obtain reliable information from them. To solve this problem and to remove the systematic errors, new technologies in working with the data were developed. Using these new technologies, one can obtain information with a high accuracy and reliability, and in many cases, new information has not been or could notmore »« less

New double-magic nucleus {sup 96}Zr and conditions for existence of new magic nuclei

Journal Article Boboshin, I. N., E-mail: boboshin@depni.sinp.msu.ru ; Varlamov, V V ; Ishkhanov, B S ; ... - Physics of Atomic Nuclei

New information about energies and occupation probabilities of neutron and proton single-particle (hole) subshells in even-even nuclei was obtained in previous studies applying the method of putting into correspondence all available data on one-nucleon pickup and stripping reactions. The most important and interesting result was identification of several nuclei as new magic ones. Namely, itwas found that a filling of the neutron 2d{sub 5/2} subshell in {sup 96}Zr makes this nuclide a magic one. Moreover, changes in proton subshell energies with increasing neutron number N are accompanied by an increasing energy gap between closed 2p{sub 1/2} and empty 1g{sub 9/2}more »« less

Effect of choosing the Q{sub α}-values and daughter density distributions on the magic numbers predicted by α decays

Journal Article Ismail, M. ; Seif, W.M., E-mail: wseif@sci.cu.edu.eg ; Tawfik, W. M. ; ... - Annals of Physics (New York)

We investigated the effects of choosing the α-decay energy (Q{sub α}) and particular density distributions of the daughter nuclei on predicting unknown magic numbers, or confirming some of them. The Q{sub α} values were calculated using three models, namely the finite-range droplet model (FRDM), the Weizsäcker–Skyrme (WS4) mass model, and a recent fitting formula. The α-decay half-lives (T{sub α}) of superheavy nuclei of Z = 118–124 have been calculated within the generalized density-dependent cluster model. The double-folding α+core potential was determined based on the M3Y-Reid nucleon–nucleon interaction. We have used the two-parameter Fermi distribution to represent the nuclear density, withmore »« less
