A microscopic calculation of half-lives for both the α and 2 α decays of Po 212 and Ra 224 is
performed, using a self-consistent framework based on energy density functionals. A …

α and cluster decays are analyzed for heavy nuclei located above Pb 208 on the chart of
nuclides: Rn 216–220 and Ra 220–224, which are also candidates for observing the 2 α …

When the density of a nuclear system is decreased, homogeneous states undergo the so-
called Mott transition towards clusterized states, eg, α clustering, both in nuclei and in …

Spectroscopic properties of low-lying states and cluster structures in C 12 are analyzed in a
beyond mean-field framework based on global energy density functionals (EDFs). To build …

The nucleonic localization function has been used for a decade to study the formation of α
particles in nuclei, by providing a measure of having nucleons of a given spin in a single …

A microscopic calculation of half-lives for the recently observed Xe 108→ Te 104→ Sn 100 α-
decay chain is performed by using a self-consistent framework based on energy density …

Significant transition strength in light α-conjugate nuclei at low energy, typically below 10
MeV, has been observed in many experiments. In this work the isoscalar low-energy …

The use of quantality is discussed in the case of nuclei and other many-body systems such
as atomic electrons. This dimensionless quantity is known to indicate when a many-body …

Background: Several recent experiments report significant low-energy isoscalar monopole
strength, below the giant resonance, in various nuclei. In light α-conjugate nuclei, these low …

Independent particle model in nuclear physics assumes that the nucleon in the nucleus
moves in the average (mean field) potential generated by all other nucleons. This chapter …
