Investigation of the nuclear structure at the proton stability line (PROLINE)
Contract No. 100PCE/15.07.2025
Director Dr. Doru S. Delion
The nuclear structure at the proton drip line is an important direction of experimental and theoretical research work with astrophysical implications.
Our research objectives will be focused on the following directions:
- We will search for a deformed nuclear mean field, by using a self-consistent
deformed Cluster-Hartree-Fock-Bogoliubov (dCHFB) approach in order to
investigate how the alpha-clustering changes nuclear structure properties for nuclei
close to the proton drip line. - We will analyze nuclei above the doubly magic nucleus 100 Sn in terms of a
simplified version of the Multistep Shell Model (MSM). - We will investigate beta delayed particle emission process close to the proton
stability line, by predicting proton, two-proton and alpha-decay systematics in terms
of nuclear structure observables. Astrophysical implications will be analyzed. - We will analyze the chiral symmetry breaking near the proton stability line in
terms of a semiclassical description of nuclear dynamics related to triaxial shapes,
giving an interpretation of chiral and wobbling bands.
