Abstract

We investigate the presence of spatial localization in nuclei using a method that maps the nucleon same-spin pair probability and is based on the density matrix. The method is used to study spatial localization of light nuclei within the Hartree-Fock approximation. We show that the method provides an alternative tool for studying spatial localization in comparison to the localization observed from maxima in the nuclear mass density.
