A mean field model is used to investigate if a plateau in caloric curve can be reached in mononuclear configuration. In the model the configuration will break up into many pieces as the plateau is approached.
The amount of emitted prompt neutrons from the fission fragments increases as a function of excitation energy. Yet it is not fully understood whether the increase in \nu(A) as a function of E_{n} is mass dependent. The share of excitation…
Effective field theory of the in-medium nucleon-nucleon interaction is considered. The effective range parameters are found to be of a natural scale. The low density limit is discussed both in perturbative and nonperturbative situations. In…
The strong nuclear interaction between nucleons (protons and neutrons) is the effective force that holds the atomic nucleus together. This force stems from fundamental interactions between quarks and gluons (the constituents of nucleons)…
The correlation effects in nuclei owing to which the nuclear wave functions are different from the Slater determinants are studied on the basis of the original theory. The calculated numbers of nucleons out of the nuclear Fermi-surface are…
