Binding Energy of Cu79 : Probing the Structure of the Doubly Magic Ni

Abstract: The masses of the neutron-rich copper isotopes ^{75-79}Cu are determined using the precision mass spectrometer ISOLTRAP at the CERN-ISOLDE facility. The trend from the new data differs significantly from that of previous results, offering a first accurate view of the mass surface adjacent to the Z=28, N=50 nuclide ^{78}Ni and supporting a doubly magic character. The new masses compare very well with large-scale shell-model calculations that predict shape coexistence in a doubly magic ^{78}Ni and a new island o… Show more

“…It illustrates that in 73m Zn a certain degree of proton excitations across the closed Z = 28 shell and neutron excitations across the N = 50 shell gaps are important. This was also observed recently in the neutron-rich Cu isotopes via mass and moment measurements [17,36]. The most noteworthy conclusion from Fig.…”

“…Our dataset combines all experimental masses from AME2003 [42] and AME2016 [43] augmented by the recently measured masses from Refs. [44][45][46][47][48][49][50]. For nuclei where experiments have been repeated, we take the most recent value.…”

“…These masses were obtained from self-consistent deformed Hartree-Fock-Bogoliubov calculations using the Skyrme effective interaction BSk27 [36]. The very recent measurements of copper isotopes [37] have been also taken into account. Nuclear masses were estimated from tabulated atomic masses after subtracting out the electron binding…”

“…To better assess the precision of the new method, Eq. (1) have been solved sirectly using (37) and (38). Because P depends not only on n e but also on Z, n e varies discontinuously at the interface between two adjacent layers with different proton numbers Z 1 and Z 2 .…”
