The odd-even mass staggering (OES) of nuclei is analyzed in the context of self-consistent mean-field calculations. The procedure developed allows to understand the OES for spherical as well as for deformed nuclei. Comparison with results…
The subtle interplay between the two nuclear superfluids, isovector T=1 and isoscalar T=0 phases, are investigated in an exactly soluble model. It is shown that T=1 and T=0 pair-modes decouple in the exact calculations with the T=1…
The $^{66}$Ge and $^{68}$Ge nuclei are studied by means of the shell model with the extended $P+QQ$ Hamiltonian, which succeeds in reproducing experimentally observed energy levels, moments of inertia and other properties. The investigation…
Recent studies show that for systems with four identical fermions in the $j=9/2$ shell two special states, which have seniority $v=4$ and total spins I=4 and 6, are eigenstates of any two-body interaction. These states have good seniority…
We compute the proton-neutron entanglement entropy in the interacting nuclear shell model for a variety of nuclides and interactions. Some results make intuitive sense, for example that the shell structure, as governed by single-particle…
We explore, within the framework of an algebraic sp(4) shell model, discrete approximations to various derivatives of the energies of the lowest isovector-paired 0^+ states of atomic nuclei in the 40 <A < 100 mass range. The results show…
The g_{9/2} shell of identical particles is the first one for which one can have seniority-mixing effects. We consider three interactions: a delta interaction that conserves seniority, a quadrupole-quadrupole (QQ) interaction that does not,…
The search for specific signals in ultra-relativistic heavy-light ion collisions addressing intrinsic geometric features of nuclei may open a new window to low energy nuclear structure. We discuss specifically the phenomenon of…
The influence of quadrupole and hexadecapole residual interactions on rotational bands is investigated in a single-j shell model. An exact shell-model diagonalization of quadrupole-plus-hexadecapole interaction can sometimes produce a…

The interplay of pairing and other interactions is addressed in this work using a simple single-j model. We show that enhancements in pairing correlations observed through studies of the spectra of deformed systems, moments of inertia,…

For each of the (9/2), (11/2) and (13/2) single j shells we have only one state with J=j V=3 for a five particle system. For four identical particles there can be more than one state of seniority four. We note some ``ratio'' relations for…

Pairing energies for the addition of two neutrons on even-even nuclei with $ N=Z $ are studied. The $ Z $ dependence is attributed to the number and type of orbitals that are occupied in the valence shell-model space. Properties in the…

We study the system of semilinear elliptic equations $$-\Delta u_i+ u_i = \sum_{j=1}^\ell \beta_{ij}|u_j|^p|u_i|^{p-2}u_i, \qquad u_i\in H^1(\mathbb{R}^N),\qquad i=1,\ldots,\ell,$$ where $N\geq 4$, $1<p<\frac{N}{N-2}$, and the matrix…
Strong residual correlations between neutrons and protons in N ~ Z systems can lead to unusual structure. Using the spherical shell model, we show that a low-excitation shape isomer can occur in the odd-odd N=Z nucleus 66As. This extends…
