Level densities of heaviest nuclei
The intrinsic level densities of superheavy nuclei in the α-decay chains of 296,298,300120 are calculated using the single-particle spectra obtained with the modified two-center shell model. The role of the shell and pairing effects on the level density as well as their quenching with excitation energy are studied. The extracted level density parameter is expressed as a function of mass number, ground-state shell correction, and excitation energy. The results are compared with the phenomenological values of level density parameters used to calculate the survival of excited heavy nuclei. © 2014 SIF, Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg
Level densities and shell corrections of superheavy nuclei
© Published under licence by IOP Publishing Ltd. The intrinsic level densities of superheavy nuclei in the α-decay chains of 296;298;300120 nuclei are calculated using the single-particle spectra obtained with the modifed two-center shell model. The level density parameters are extracted and compared with their phenomenological values used in the calculations of the survival of excited heavy nuclei. The dependences of the level density parameters on the mass and charge numbers as well as on the ground-state shell corrections are studied
Influence of shell structure on level densities of superheavy nuclei
The intrinsic level densities of superheavy nuclei in the α-decay chains of 296,298,300120 nuclei are calculated using the single-particle spectra obtained with the modified two-center shell model.

Level densities of dinuclear systems
© 2016, SIF, Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg.The intrinsic level densities of dinuclear systems formed in heavy-ion reactions are calculated using the single-particle spectra obtained with the modified two-center shell model. The role of the mass asymmetry, deformation parameters, and neck size on the level density as well as their quenching with excitation energy are studied. The extracted level density parameter is compared with that obtained in the sudden approximation. The phenomenological parametrization is suggested to estimate the level density parameters for dinuclear systems and strongly deformed nuclear shapes
Possibilities of production of heaviest nuclei
Impact of nuclear structure on the production of superheavy nuclei in complete fusion reactions is discussed. Possible proton shell closure at Z = 120 is considered
Three-body correlations in direct reactions: Example of Be populated in reaction
The Be continuum states were populated in the charge-exchange reaction
H(Li,Be) collecting very high statistics data ( events) on the three-body ++ correlations. The
Be excitation energy region below MeV is considered, where the
data are dominated by contributions from the and states. It is
demonstrated how the high-statistics few-body correlation data can be used to
extract detailed information on the reaction mechanism. Such a derivation is
based on the fact that highly spin-aligned states are typically populated in
the direct reactions.Comment: submitted to Physical Review
10He low-lying states structure uncovered by correlations
The 0+ ground state of the 10He nucleus produced in the 3H(8He,p)10He
reaction was found at about MeV (\Gamma ~ 2 MeV) above the
three-body 8He+n+n breakup threshold. Angular correlations observed for 10He
decay products show prominent interference patterns allowing to draw
conclusions about the structure of low-energy excited states. We interpret the
observed correlations as a coherent superposition of the broad 1- state having
a maximum at energy 4-6 MeV and the 2+ state above 6 MeV, setting both on top
of the 0+ state "tail". This anomalous level ordering indicates that the
breakdown of the N=8 shell known in 12Be thus extends also to the 10He system.Comment: 5 pages, 5 figure
