Shell structure of weakly-bound and resonant neutrons

Abstract

The systematic change of shell structure in both weakly bound and resonant neutron one-particle levels in nuclei towards the neutron drip line is exhibited, solving the coupled equations derived from the Schr\"{o}dinger equation in coordinate space with the correct asymptotic behaviour of wave functions for rr \rightarrow \infty. The change comes from the behaviour unique in the one-particle motion with low orbital angular momenta compared with that with high orbital angular momenta. The observed deformation of very neutron-rich nuclei with N\simgeq20N \simgeq 20 in the island of inversion is a natural result of this changed shell structure, while a possible deformation of neutron-drip-line nuclei with N51N \approx 51, which are not yet observed, is suggested.
