Unlike their lighter counterparts, most odd-odd N=Z nuclei with mass A > 40 40 have ground states with isospin T=1, suggesting an increased role for the isovector pairing interaction. A simple SO(5) seniority-like model of this interaction…

The interplay between isoscalar and isovector correlations in the 1$^{-}$ states in neutron-rich (N$\neq$Z) even-even nuclei is studied, taking examples of the nuclei, $^{22}_{8}$O$_{14}$ and $^{24}_{8}$O$_{16}$. The excitation modes…

Background : Several recent experiments report significant low-energy isoscalar monopole strength, below the giant resonance, in various nuclei. In light $\alpha$-conjugate nuclei, these low-energy resonances were recently interpreted as…
Isospin is an approximate symmetry in atomic nuclei, arising from the rather similar properties of protons and neutrons. Perhaps the clearest manifestation of isospin within nuclei is in the near-identical structure of excited states in…

Isoscalar giant resonances are nuclear collective excitations associated with the oscillation in phase of protons and neutrons according to a certain multipolarity $L$. In particular, the isoscalar giant monopole resonance ($L=0$) is the…
