The nuclear shell model towards the drip lines

Nuclear Theory 2022-04-14 v1

Abstract

Applications of configuration mixing methods for nuclei near the proton and neutron drip lines are discussed. A short review of magic numbers is presented. Prospects for advances in the regions of four new "outposts" are highlighted: 28^{28}O, 42^{42}Si, 60^{60}Ca and 78^{78}Ni. Topics include: shell gaps, single-particle properties, islands-of-inversion, collectivity, neutron decay, neutron halos, two-proton decay, effective charge, and quenching in knockout reactions.
