Shell Closures and Structural Information from Nucleon Separation Energies

In this work nuclei along N=Z line are of interest as transitions from spherical to deformed shapes are expected to occur when going across the medium mass region. In this respect a strong sudden shape transition between deformation is predicted to occur in the region N=Z as well as N>Z nuclei. New shell gaps are predicted using nucleon and two-nucleon separation energies and the shape evaluation are depicted by applying triaxially deformed cranked Nilsson Strutinsky calculations. Nucleon separation energy plays a major role in the prediction of new magicity in the proton and neutron drip line nuclei. c © Electronic Journal of Theoretical Physics. All rights reserved.
