Abstract. Extensive shell-model calculations on several properties of all nuclei with Z = 2-9 and A = 4-30 have been performed, in order to investigate whether normal and exotic light nuclei can be treate in a unified description. Investigated are binding energies, excitation energies, magnetic dipole moments, radii and beta-decay lifetimes. In this paper we discuss the ground-state binding energies and magnetic moments of these nuclei. The discussion of other properties is restricted to the isotopes of He and Li. PACS: 21.60.Cs; 27.10. + h; 27.20. + n The shell-model approaches to light nuclei described in [2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12] have been applied to the non-exotic light nuclei, which step by step resulted in improved agreement between theory and experiment. The question we address here is: can exotic nuclei in principle be described equally well as the non-exotic nuclei with one uniform approach?In this paper we discuss the results for the groundstate binding energies and magnetic dipole moments of all Z = 2-9 exotic nuclei. The presentation of excitation energies and beta-decay lifetimes is restricted here to He and Li isotopes with A = 4-11. Moreover, we briefly adress one of the interesting features in this region, namely that of the relatively large radius of 11Li.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
