Intruder states and shape coexistence beyond N=50 close to 78Ni studied by neutronknockout at RIBF-RIKEN

PhD Defense 2023 november, 23 Léo Plagnol Intruder states and shape coexistence beyond N=50 close to 78Ni studied by neutron knockout at RIBF-RIKEN The recent spectroscopy of 78Ni together with indications of shape coexistence just below the N=50 shell closure for 79Zn suggests that deformed intruder configurations could play a crucial role in low-energy structure […]

A Unified Equation of State for Neutron Stars and Core-Collapse Supernovae

Defense thesis Sept. 18 2023 A Unified Equation of State for Neutron Stars and Core-Collapse Supernovae Hoa DINH THI **Abstract:**This thesis aims to study the interior properties of isolated, non-accreting, and non-rotating (proto-)neutron stars. For this purpose, the meta-modeling technique was employed to compute the properties of nuclear matter, while the inhomogeneities in the crust […]

One more step towards the observation of the tetraneutron

Representation of a tetraneutron. The unambiguous observation of this system composed of 4 neutrons, sheds new light on the mechanisms of cohesion in the atomic nucleus or neutron stars. Credit: CNRS/IN2P3 A resonance structure compatible with a quasi-bound tetraneutron has been observed by scientists of the SAMURAI collaboration in RIKEN, Japan, in which a team […]
