site 1 : Supernovae Type II 4 MotivationsResultsSummaryFormalism ECT*-APCTP Joint Workshop, Sep. 15, 2015 In the core collapsing supernovae(SNe), medium and heavy elements are believed to be produced by r-process and s-process. Since most of these nuclei are thought to be more or less deformed, we need to explicitly take into account of the deformation in the nuclear structure. Why do we consider the deformation in the nuclear structure?
ECT*-APCTP Joint Workshop, Sep. 15, 2015 Since the high density (≈10 4 g/cm 3 )and low temperature on the neutron star crust make electrons degenerated. The degenerated electrons block the beta decay and induce electric captures. Therefore, the valley of stability is shifted toward neutron-rich nuclei. Ordinary nuclei become highly unstable, and RI become the normal stable nuclei at the neutron-star crusts !! site 2 : Neutron star crusts 5 MotivationsResultsSummaryFormalism The rapid proton process(rp-process) is thought to be occurred on the binary star system composed of a massive compact star and a companion star. Deformation could be of practical importance on the understanding of the nucleosynthesis.

ECT*-APCTP Joint Workshop, Sep. 15, 2015 proton-drip line PRL 106, (2011) The neutron-proton (np) pairing correlations are important in nuclear structure and decay for proton-rich nuclei with N ≈ Z : protons and neutrons occupy identical orbitals and have maximal spatial overlap.

25 MotivationsSummary The values of np pairing gaps δ pn emp are not negligible even for large neutron excess isotopes. The attractive short-range interaction between one unpaired proton and neutron with energies close to the Fermi surface is considered to be the origin of the np paring interaction. The np-pairing interaction can be associated with the deformation effect, which is changing the distribution of proton and neutron SP levels.

26 MotivationsSummaryFormalismResults β 2 =0.217 (RMF), In (a), below some critical value (~0.97) : only pp & nn-pairing modes. Above this value : the system prefers to form only np-pair. In (a) pp, nn, and np-pairs coexist in the narrow region. In (b) the coexistence region is more wide and the phase transition becomes less sharp.

27 Pairing gap for 70 Ge (Z ǂ N) MotivationsSummaryFormalismResults β 2 = (RMF), The realistic interaction by the G-matrix makes the phase transitions more slowly than the schematic force. np-pairing mode does exist only in coexistence with pp & nn-pairing mode. ECT*-APCTP Joint Workshop, Sep. 15, 2015
28 MotivationsSummaryFormalismResults G np =0.275 in (a), g np =1.75 in (b) The np-pairing gap decreases with neutron excess. It heavily depends on the deformation parameter β 2 for 64 Ge. If we use G np ≥ 0.275(g np ≥ 1.75), np-pairing gap is not zero for N-Z =8~10 nuclei. ECT*-APCTP Joint Workshop, Sep. 15, 2015 np-pairing gap with a fixed pairing strength for 64 Ge ~ 76 Ge
29 MotivationsSummary Formalism Results Does the δ pn depend on the deformation parameter β 2 ? ECT*-APCTP Joint Workshop, Sep. 15, 2015 The np pairing gap is sensitive to the β 2. Since the spherical SPS are split by the deformation, the energy gaps of protons and neutrons are also scattered. Therefore the overlap of wave functions becomes smaller and energy gaps becomes larger. The np pairing gaps decrease with the deformation.

35 MotivationsResultsFormalismSummary 1. We used the deformed WS potential and then performed the deformed BCS and deformed QRPA with realistic two-body interaction calculated by Brueckner G- matrix based on Bonn potential. 2. Results of the Gamow-Teller strength, B(GT±), for 76 Ge and 76,82 Se show that the deformation effect leads to a fragmentation of the GT strength into high-lying GT excited states. 3. We examined isovector(T=1) and isoscalar(T=0) np-pairing correlations for the ground state of even-even Ge isotopes, A=64–76, within the deformed BCS approach. 4. For N=Z 64 Ge a sharp phase transition from the pp(nn)-pairing mode to the np -pairing mode is observed. 5.The T=0,1 np-pairing correlations should be considered also for medium- heavy nuclei with large neutron excess since the np-pairing effect is not negligible. 6.The change of Fermi level and the modified smearing of Fermi surface were found for N ≠ Z as well as N = Z nuclei. These variations may affect many important nuclear electro-magnetic and weak transitions in nuclear physics. 7.The GT strength for 24 Mg in DQRPA with np-pairing reproduce well experimental data.
