Structure of the Lightest Tin Isotopes
We link the structure of nuclei around Sn100, the heaviest doubly magic nucleus with equal neutron and proton numbers (N=Z=50), to nucleon-nucleon (NN) and three-nucleon (NNN) forces constrained by data of few-nucleon systems. Our results indicate that Sn100 is doubly magic, and we predict its quadrupole collectivity. We present precise …
