Title: Nuclear pasta structures and symmetry energy
Abstract: In the framework of the relativistic mean field model with Thomas-Fermi approximation, we study the structures of low density nuclear matter in a three-dimensional geometry with reflection symmetry. The numerical accuracy and efficiency are improved by expanding the mean fields according to fast cosine transformation and considering only one octant of the unit cell. The effect of finite cell size is treated carefully by searching for the optimum cell size. Typical pasta structures (droplet, rod, slab, tube, and bubble) arranged in various crystalline configurations are obtained for both fixed proton fractions and β-equilibration. It is found that the properties of droplets/bubbles are similar in body-centered cubic (BCC) and face-centered cubic (FCC) lattices, where the FCC lattice generally becomes more stable than BCC lattice as density increases. For the rod/tube phases, the honeycomb lattice is always more stable than the simple one. By introducing an ω-ρ cross coupling term, we further examine the pasta structures with a smaller slope of symmetry energy L = 41.34 MeV, which predicts larger onset densities for core-crust transition and non-spherical nuclei. Such a variation due to the reduction of L is expected to have impacts on various properties in neutron stars, supernova dynamics, and binary neutron star mergers.

Title: Study of the two-proton radioactivity
Abstract: Two-proton (2p) radioactivity is a rare decay mode found in a few very proton-rich isotopes. The 2p decay width and properties of emitted protons carry invaluable information on nuclear structure in the presence of a low-lying proton continuum. For example, in mid-heavy nuclei, the measured 2p decay of 67Kr turned out to be unexpectedly fast [1]. And more recently, as the mirror of the halo nucleus 11Li, 11O was observed for the first time with a very broad peak [2]. To understand these exotic phenomena, we apply the Gamow coupled-channel method, which describes structure and decays of three-body systems within one coherent theoretical framework by utilizing resonant and scattering states in eigenfunction expansion [3]. The calculated lifetimes, angular correlations, and other properties indicate that the nuclear inner structure and continuum effect play a significant role in the decay process [2,3]. Moreover, to provide insights into the impact of nucleonic superfluidity on two-nucleon decay processes, we are developing a novel time-dependent approach, which will allow us to consider different experimental initial-setups and directly compare the predictions and data without losing structural information. With this new approach, we reveal the different dynamics of 2p and 2n decays.

Title: Electron scattering for structure studies of proton and exotic nuclei
Abstract:
本セミナーでは、東北大学と理化学研究所の電子加速器を利用して進めている電子散乱による陽子と短寿命不安定核の構造研究について紹介します。
１）陽子電荷半径 : ULQ2 (Ultra Low Q2)＠東北大電子光理学研究センター
史上最低エネルギー（Ee = 20 – 60 MeV）の電子・陽子弾性散乱から、最も信頼度の高い陽子電荷半径を決定します。ここ数年、科研費により電子光理学研究センター内に新しくビームラインと２連の散乱電子スペクトロメータを建設しています。本研究は、「陽子半径パズル」と呼ばれる陽子電荷半径に関する混乱に決着をつけ、正しい陽子電荷半径の決定が目標です [1,2]。セミナーでは、陽子半径パズル、ULQ2 計画そしてコミッショニングの現状と今後の展望を紹介します。
２）短寿命不安定核の電荷密度分布 : SCRIT@理化学研究所 RIBF
私たちは、前例のない電子散乱による短寿命不安定核研究を可能にするSCRIT電子散乱施設を理化学研究所 RIビームファクトリーに建設し稼働を開始させました [3]。SCRIT 施設の現場と今後の研究展望について紹介します。
電子弾性散乱で決定される電荷密度分布は主として陽子分布の情報を与えますが、電荷密度分布の４次モーメントから核内中性子分布の平均二乗半径が決定できる可能性が理論的に指摘されました [4,5]。この指摘を受けて、原子核構造研究に最適な電子散乱で不安定核の陽子と中性子分布を同時決定する可能性の検討を進めています。セミナーではこの可能性についても皆さんと議論したいと考えています。
