Abstract

The structure of the light proton and neutron rich nuclei is studied in a microscopic multicluster model using the stochastic variational method. This approach enables us to describe the weakly bound nature of these nuclei in a consistent way. Applications for various nuclei ^6–9Li, ⁷Be, ⁸B, ⁹C, ^9–10Be, ^9–10B presented. The paper discusses the relation of this model to other models as well as the possible extension for p and sd shell nuclei.

A microscopic three-cluster model with nuclear polarization applied to the resonances of 7Be and the reaction 6Li(p, 3He)4He
2009, Nuclear Physics A
A microscopic model for three-cluster configurations in light nuclei is presented. It uses an expansion in terms of Faddeev components for which the dynamic equations are derived. The model is designed to investigate binary channel processes in a compound system. Gaussian and oscillator bases are used to expand the wave function and to represent appropriate boundary conditions. We study the effect of cluster polarization on ground and resonance states of ⁷Be, and on the astrophysical S-factor of the reaction ⁶Li(p, ³He)⁴He.
Dipole and quadrupole moments of mirror nuclei 8B and 8Li
2001, Nuclear Physics A
Magnetic dipole and electric quadrupole moments of the mirror nuclei ⁸Li and ⁸B are analysed in the framework of the multiparticle shell model by using two approaches: (i) the one-particle spectroscopic factors and (ii) the one-particle fractional parentage coefficients. These two approaches are compared both each to other and with a microscopic multicluster model. The one-particle nucleon states are calculated with taking into account the continuum by the method of the expansion of the Sturm–Liouville functions.
The experimental magnetic and quadrupole moments of ⁸Li and ⁸B are reproduced well by using fractional parentage coefficients technique. The root mean-square radii and the radial density distributions are obtained for these nuclei.
Microscopic cluster study of the 31Ne and 32Ne nuclei
1999, Nuclear Physics A
We investigate the ³¹Ne and ³²Ne neutron-rich nuclei by using the Generator Coordinate Method. The wave functions are defined by a ³⁰Ne + n and ³⁰Ne + n + n cluster structure, respectively. The binding energies of both systems are studied with different parameters of the nucleon-nucleon interaction, and are shown to be similar. Assuming the particle stability of ³²Ne, the ³¹Ne nucleus is therefore predicted to be stable with respect to neutron decay. Spectroscopic properties (r.m.s. radii and E2 transition probabilities) are presented for both nuclei.
