Neutron-Rich Nuclei towards 78Ni
- Andrea Jungclaus (Instituto de Estructura de la Materia)
Islands of Inversion (IoI) are among the most intriguing phenomena in nuclear structure research. One of the least understood is the so-called $N=40$ IoI, centred around $^{64}$Cr ($Z=24$, $N=40$). Situated just below the spherical $^{68}$Ni ($Z=28$, $N=40$), the interplay between the negative-parity $pf$ neutron shell and the positive-parity $g_{9/2}$ and $d_{5/2}$ orbitals (spanning the...
The first spectroscopy of $^{78}$Ni suggested that the nucleus act as separation between a region. of sphericity and an island of deformation developing around N=50 for Z<28. In Fe isotopes, the spectroscopy with in-flight studies reached until $^{72}$Fe and $^{73}$Co (N=46), discovering an extension of the N=40 island of inversion towards the N=50 magic number. Also in $^{69,71}$Co low-lying...
