Covariant spectator theory of $n p$ scattering: Deuteron form factors

Franz Gross

Phys. Rev. C 101, 024001 (2020) - Published 3 February, 2020

This paper uses the covariant spectator theory to calculate the deuteron electromagnetic form factors, yielding impressive quantitative results for deuteron observables. Special attention is given to a consistent treatment of currents generated by the nuclear force models obtained from the 2008 high-precision fits to the $N N$ scattering data. Noteworthy results are (1) the neutron charge form factor prediction and (2) determination of two off-shell nucleon form factors that contribute to electron-deuteron scattering.

$α$ decay to a doubly magic core in the quartetting wave function approach

Shuo Yang, Chang Xu, Gerd Röpke, Peter Schuck, Zhongzhou Ren, Yasuro Funaki, Hisashi Horiuchi, Akihiro Tohsaki, Taiichi Yamada, and Bo Zhou

Phys. Rev. C 101, 024316 (2020) - Published 28 February, 2020

This microscopic calculation for the $α$ decay of heavy nuclei provides a solution to what has long been an outstanding problem. In the authors’ model, the $α$ particle exists only below about one-fifth of saturation density, corresponding to a large radius, inside of which the $α$ particle transitions into an unbound four-nucleon shell-model state. The model reproduces the half-life of $^{212}$ Po (a classic test case) as well as some neighboring nuclei, and calculations are also made for $^{104}$ Te.
