Fragmentation of a Non-Rotating Ni19 Cluster: A Molecular Dynamics Study

  • Halil Avcı,
  • Mehmet Çivi,
  • Ziya B. Güvenç and
  • Julius Jellinek

Collisionless fragmentation of a non-rotating Ni19 cluster is studied using constant-energy molecular dynamics computer simulations. The cluster is modelled by an embedded atom model (EAM) energy surface. Distribution of the channel-specific fragment...

The Sensitivity of Halo Nuclei to the Nuclear Radius

  • Şeref Okuducu,
  • Güneş Tanır and
  • Başar Şarer

1 August 1999

β-decay provides important information about the structure of halo nuclei. Because of the root-mean-square radius (Rrms) of the neutron halo distribution is very large, the phase-space factor for halo nuclei must be more sensitively depended on the r...
