Researchers have found that titanium-48 changes from a shell model structure to an alpha-cluster structure depending on the distance from the center of the nucleus. The results upend the conventional ...

Nuclear structure and scattering theory form the core of our understanding of atomic nuclei, unraveling how protons and neutrons interact via the strong force and arrange themselves into complex ...

An international team of researchers has systematically measured the β-decay half-lives of 40 nuclei near calcium-54, providing key experimental data for understanding the structure of extremely ...

Nuclei are not always spherical — they can stretch and twist in subtle ways. This figure maps the relationship between modern shape parameters q 2 and η, and the classic Bohr parameters β and γ, ...

Atomic nuclei exhibit a complex interplay of structure and dynamics that underpins much of nuclear physics. The arrangement of protons and neutrons into specific configurations gives rise to quantised ...
