Possible bound nuclei beyond the two-neutron drip line in the $50leqslant Z leqslant 70$ region are investigated by using the deformed relativistic Hartree-Bogoliubov theory in continuum with density functional PC-PK1. Bound nuclei beyond the drip lines of $_{56}$Ba, $_{58}$Ce, $_{62}$Sm, $_{64}$Gd and $_{66}$Dy are predicted, forming peninsulas of stability in nuclear landscape. Near these peninsulas, several multi-neutron emitters are predicted. The underlying mechanism of the peninsulas of stability is investigated by studying the total energy, Fermi surface, quadrupole deformation and the single-neutron spectrum in the canonical basis. It is found that the deformation effect is crucial for forming the peninsulas of stability, and pairing correlations are also essential in specific cases. The dependence on the deformation evolution is also discussed. The decay rates of multi-neutron radioactivity in Ba and Sm isotopic chains are estimated by using the direct decay model.

Based on the relativistic calculations of the nuclear masses in the transfermium region from No $(Z=102)$ to Ds $(Z=110)$ by the deformed relativistic Hartree-Bogoliubov theory in continuum, the possible existence of the bound nuclei beyond the neutron drip lines is studied. The two-neutron and multi-neutron emission bound nuclei beyond the primary neutron drip line of $N=258$ are predicted in $Z=106,108$ and $110$ isotopes. Detailed microscopic mechanism investigation reveals that nuclear deformation plays a vital role in the existence of the bound nuclei beyond the drip line. Furthermore, not only the quadrupole deformation $beta_{2}$, but also the higher orders of deformation are indispensible in the reliable description of the phenomenon of the reentrant binding.
Two new mechanisms active in rotating nuclei located in the vicinity of neutron drip line have been discovered. Strong Coriolis interaction acting on high-$j$ orbitals transforms particle-unbound (resonance) nucleonic configurations into particle-bound ones with increasing angular momentum. The point of the transition manifests the birth of particle-bound rotational bands. Alternative possibility of the transition from particle-bound to resonance rotational band (the death of particle-bound rotational bands) with increasing spin also exists but it is less frequent in the calculations. The birth of particle-bound rotational bands provides a mechanism for the extension of nuclear landscape to neutron numbers which are larger than those of the neutron drip line in non-rotating nuclei.
In a previous letter (Phys. Rev. Lett. 96, 072502 (2006)), the multi-channel algebraic scattering (MCAS) technique was used to calculate spectral properties for proton-unstable $^{15}$F and its mirror, $^{15}$C. MCAS achieved a close match to the then-new data for $p+^{14}$O elastic scattering and predicted several unusually narrow resonances at higher energies. Subsequently, such narrow resonance states were found. New cross section data has been published characterising the shape of the $J^pi =frac{1}{2}^-$ resonance. Herein we update that first MCAS analysis and its predictions. We also study the spectra of the set of mass-15 isobars, ${}^{15}$C, ${}^{15}$N, ${}^{15}$O, and ${}^{15}$F, using the MCAS method and seeking a consistent Hamiltonian for clusterisation with a neutron and a proton, separately, coupled to core nuclei ${}^{14}$C and ${}^{14}$O.
The predictive power of the deformed relativistic Hartree-Bogoliubov theory in continuum (DRHBc) for nuclear mass is examined in the superheavy region, $102 le Z le 120$. The accuracy of predicting the 10 (56) measured (measured and empirical) masses is $0.635$ ($0.642$) MeV, in comparison with $0.515$ ($1.360$) MeV by WS4 and $0.910$ ($2.831$) MeV by FRDM. Possible stability against multineutron emission beyond the two-neutron drip line is explored by the DRHBc theory, which takes into account simultaneously the deformation effects, the pairing correlations, and the continuum effects. Nuclei stable against two- and multineutron emissions beyond the two-neutron drip line are predicted in $_{106}$Sg, $_{108}$Hs, $_{110}$Ds, and $_{112}$Cn isotopic chains, forming a peninsula of stability adjacent to the nuclear mainland. This stability is mainly due to the deformation which significantly affects the shell structure around the Fermi surface. The pairing correlations and continuum influence the stability peninsula in a self-consistent way.
The very neutron-rich oxygen isotopes 25O and 26O are investigated experimentally and theoret- ically. In this first R3B-LAND experiment, the unbound states are populated at GSI via proton- knockout reactions from 26F and 27F at relativistic energies around 450 MeV/nucleon. From the kinematically complete measurement of the decay into 24O plus one or two neutrons, the 25O ground- state energy and lifetime are determined, and upper limits for the 26O ground state are extracted. In addition, the results provide evidence for an excited state in 26O at around 4 MeV. The ex- perimental findings are compared to theoretical shell-model calculations based on chiral two- and three-nucleon (3N) forces, including for the first time residual 3N forces, which are shown to be amplified as valence neutrons are added.
