Proton-Rich Light Nuclei

摘要: A basic question for a given element of how few or many neutrons can be contained in its nucleus and still result “bound” system, the resulting consequences on our present concept nuclear structure, have been focus much recent research highly unstable nuclei. It is only during last several years that limit stability has reached areas chart. Except among lightest elements, knowledge neutron-excess side beyond experimental capability. For heavier gap between most neutron-rich isotope known which predicted to define neutron drip-line more less increases monotonically with number. The situation quite different neutron-deficient nuclides. Here, boundary region, proton binding energy goes zero, essentially delineated through sd shell established some extent = 100–160 region. This review gives status light (A ≲ 60) proton-rich nuclides an emphasis nuclei number Z substantially larger than N.
