Nuclear Model of Binding alpha-particles

The model of binding alpha-particles in nuclei is suggested. It is shown good (with the accuracy of 1-2%) description of the experimental binding energies in light and medium nuclear systems. Our preliminary calculations show enhancement of the binding energy for super heavy nuclei with Z~120.Comment: 4 pages, 2 figures, Will be puplished in World Scientific as Procs. Int.

Universal Angular Probability Distribution of Three Particles near Zero Energy Threshold

We study bound states of a 3--particle system in $\mathbb{R}^3$ described by the Hamiltonian $H(\lambda_n) = H_0 + v_{12} + \lambda_n (v_{13} + v_{23})$, where the particle pair $\{1,2\}$ has a zero energy resonance and no bound states, while other particle pairs have neither bound states nor zero energy resonances. It is assumed that for a converging sequence of coupling constants $\lambda_n \to \lambda_{cr}$ the Hamiltonian $H(\lambda_n)$ has a sequence of levels with negative energies $E_n$ and wave functions $\psi_n$, where the sequence $\psi_n$ totally spreads in the sense that $\lim_{n \to \infty}\int_{|\zeta| \leq R} |\psi_n (\zeta)|^2 d\zeta = 0$ for all $R>0$. We prove that for large $n$ the angular probability distribution of three particles determined by $\psi_n$ approaches the universal analytical expression, which does not depend on pair--interactions. The result has applications in Efimov physics and in the physics of halo nuclei

The Quest for the Heaviest Uranium Isotope

We study Uranium isotopes and surrounding elements at very large neutron number excess. Relativistic mean field and Skyrme-type approaches with different parametrizations are used in the study. Most models show clear indications for isotopes that are stable with respect to neutron emission far beyond N=184 up to the range of around N=258.Comment: 4 pages, 5. figure

Chain configurations in light nuclei

The model of nuclear matter built from alpha-particles is proposed. The strong deformed shape for doubly even N=Z nuclides from carbon to magnesium has been determined according to this model. In this paper we undertake very simple approach, which assumes the existence of low lying chain configurations.Comment: 6 pages, 5 figure
