Recent Progress on Halo Nuclei in Relativistic Density Functional Theory

摘要: Since the discovery of the halo nucleus ¹¹Li in 1985, halo phenomena in exotic nuclei have always been an important frontier in nuclear physics research. The relativistic density functional theory has achieved great success in the study of halo nuclei, e.g., the self-consistent description of halo nucleus ¹¹Li and the microscopic prediction of deformed halo nuclei. This paper introduces some recent progresses, including the investigation of halo nucleus ³⁷Mg and the prediction of the N = 28 shell collapse and a deformed halo in the new isotope ³⁹Na based on the deformed relativistic Hartree-Bogoliubov theory in continuum (DRHBc), as well as the exploration of triaxially deformed halo nuclei by the newly developed triaxial relativistic Hartree-Bogoliubov theory in continuum (TRHBc).
