The Bohr-Mottelson Hamiltonian [1,2] has been numerically solved for a sextic oscillator potential in the β variable, for both stable and unstable γ-axial deformations [3,4]. The sextic potential, depending on its parameters, presents a single spherical minimum, a flat shape, a single deformed minimum and simultaneously spherical and deformed minima separated by a barrier (maximum) [5,6]....
Shape of nuclei is determined by a fine balance between the stabilizing effect of closed shells and the pairing and quadrupole forces that tend to induce deformation [1]. In the mass region around A=100, there exist clear cut examples of the rapid appearance of deformation such as Zr (even-even) [2] and Nb isotopes (odd-even) [3], which can be understood in terms of the coexistence of two...
Mass spectrometry is invaluable for probing the essential characteristics of nuclei, particularly their binding energy. The FRS Ion Catcher at GSI employs a Multiple-Reflection Time-of-Flight Mass Spectrometer (MR-TOF-MS) to achieve precise, fast, and sensitive mass measurements, crucial for studying exotic nuclei far from stability. Previous investigations, have scrutinized properties of...
The coincidence Doppler-shift attenuation method (CDSAM) is a powerful technique for determining nuclear level lifetimes in the femtosecond regime [1,2].
At the SONIC@HORUS setup [3] at the University of Cologne, several (p,p'$\gamma$)- and ($\alpha$,$\alpha$'$\gamma$)-CDSAM experiments have been performed with a focus on the A $\approx$ 100 mass region, including Zr, Ru, Pd, Sn, and Te...
Nuclei with a large N/Z ratio are of great interest to test nuclear models and provide information about single particle states far off stability. During the last two decades there has been a substantial effort directed to gathering information about the region around the neutron-rich $^{132}$Sn [1-3]. Lifetimes of excited states provide direct access to the reduced transition probabilities...
The nuclear shell model is one of the prime many-body methods to study the structure of atomic nuclei, but it is hampered by an exponential scaling on the basis size as the number of valence particles increases. I will discuss a quantum circuit design strategy to find nuclear ground states by exploiting an adaptive variational quantum eigensolver algorithm. This circuit implementation is in...
