Nuclear Structure and R-Process

Nuclear Structure and R-Process

We will perform a large-scale quantum many-body simulation in order to study neutron-rich nuclei and to reveal the r-process nucleosynthesis of medium-heavy nuclei quantitatively. By developing the Monte Carlo shell model and its extension we will investigate the exotic structure of neutron-rich nuclei from the Ni isotopes to heavier nuclei whose mass number is larger than 100.  We will also improve our theoretical model by comparing and examining our results with the latest experimental results provided by accelerator facilities such as RI Beam Factory at RIKEN Nishina Center.
