Title: Low-energy Gamow-Teller transitions in deformed N = Z odd-odd nuclei
Place: Meeting Room A (first floor), Center for Computational Sciences
Abstract: Low-energy Gamow-Teller transitions in deformed N = Z odd-odd nuclei (10B and 22Na) are studied by the beta-gamma AMD+GCM method with isospin projection. Roles of the pn correlation in GT transitions are discussed. Splitting of GT transition strengths occurs in 22Na because of the SU(4) symmetry breaking by the spin-orbit potential of the pn pair at the surface of 20Ne core.

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.
