Tuesday Plenary Session (AudiMax)
- Ritu Kanungo
Exploring and understanding the structure of the most neutron-rich nuclei is a primary goal of present day nuclear physics: this activity is due to advent of the RIBF and are driven by interest to understand better the interaction between the neutrons and the dynamics of neutron-proton unbalanced unstable nuclei.
In this presentation I will present an overview of our recent studies on...
In 2002, when the quest for multineutrons had been running for 40 years without success and was already fading, a first positive signal consistent with a tetraneutron was observed at GANIL. We will go back to the motivations and anecdotes around that experiment, review the impact of this first result on the theoretical and experimental communities but also on the general public, and discuss...
In this contribution, we present some recent studies of the excited states of 4He nucleus, performed by accurately solving the four body scattering problem in the framework of the ab-initio hyperspherical harmonic method. The considered nuclear Hamiltonians include modern two- and three-nucleon interactions, derived using the chiral effective field theory approach.
First of all, we study...
