Subject of modern nuclear physics
Periodic table of elements defines the realm of atomic phenomena
The systematic behavior of chemical elements properties is connected with the
systematics of the quantum-mechanical
electron shells in the Coulomb field
of atomic nucleus.
In analogy the systematic of nuclear properties is connected with systematics
of quantum-mechanical shells
for nucleons moving in the nucleus mean field. The mapping of nuclear properties should
now be two dimensional as there are two
sorts of nucleons: neutrons and protons
Nuclei far from stability
- Symmetry energy of the nuclear matter. Nuclear matter “wants” to be symmetric.
- Beta-stability and nuclear stability
- Beta-stability valley and nuclear drip lines stability
- Island of stability, super-heavies
- Gamma decays and isomeric phenomenon
- Total 256 stable isotopes
- Total 339 “natural”
- About 3100 nuclear stable isotopes
- 2000-3000 isotopes to be found
Radioactive ion beam research
- Major methods: ISOL and in-flight
- Modern RIB facilities
- Concept of in-flight RIBs formation
- How to study RIBs
- Scientific objectives of ACCULINNA fragment separator
