Novel Excitation Modes in Nuclei: Experimental and Theoretical Investigation on Multiple Chiral Doublets
Q. B. Chen, Jie Meng
Abstract
As a microscopic quantal many-body system, the structure of atomic nucleus is understood by measuring and interpreting its responses to all kinds of probes. The responses manifest in different kinds of energy excitation spectra with specific energy and angular momentum (spin), and link with electric and magnetic transition rates.
