A Multi-Channel Algebraic Scattering (MCAS) theory is presented with which the properties of a compound nucleus are found from a coupled-channel problem. The method defines both the bound states and resonances of the compound nucleus, even if the compound nucleus is particle unstable. All resonances of the system are found no matter how weak and/or narrow. Spectra of mass-7 nuclei and of {}^{15}F, and MCAS results for a radiative capture cross section are presented.

A multi-channel algebraic scattering theory, to find solutions of coupled-channel scattering problems with interactions determined by collective models, has been structured to ensure that the Pauli principle is not violated. Positive (scattering) and negative (sub-threshold) solutions can be found to predict both the compound nucleus sub-threshold spectrum and all resonances due to coupled channel effects that occur on a smooth energy varying background.
The proton-rich nucleus $^{23}$Al has a ground state just 123 keV below the proton drip-line, and as a result comparatively little is known experimentally about its properties, as with many such nuclei. Theoretical investigations have tended to model exclusively the ground and first one to three excited states known. In this paper, we theoretically model most of the known spectrum, and predict what states may as yet be unobserved. We use the multichannel algebraic scattering (MCAS) method to describe states as resonances of a valence proton coupled to a $^{22}$Mg rotor core. Six states with low-excitation energies and defined $J^pi$ are matched, and we make the first prediction of the properties of four others and propound the possible existence of several more.
The atomic nucleus is a quantum many-body system whose constituent nucleons (protons and neutrons) are subject to complex nucleon-nucleon interactions that include spin- and isospin-dependent components. For stable nuclei, already several decades ago , emerging seemingly regular patterns in some observables could be described successfully within a shell-model picture that results in particularly stable nuclei at certain magic fillings of the shells with protons and/or neutrons: N,Z = 8, 20, 28, 50, 82, 126. However, in short-lived, so-called exotic nuclei or rare isotopes, characterized by a large N/Z asymmetry and located far away from the valley of beta stability on the nuclear chart, these magic numbers, viewed through observables, were shown to change. These changes in the regime of exotic nuclei offer an unprecedented view at the roles of the various components of the nuclear force when theoretical descriptions are confronted with experimental data on exotic nuclei where certain effects are enhanced. This article reviews the driving forces behind shell evolution from a theoretical point of view and connects this to experimental signatures.
We report on a study of exotic nuclei around doubly magic 132Sn in terms of the shell model employing a realistic effective interaction derived from the CD-Bonn nucleon-nucleon potential. The short-range repulsion of the bare potential is renormalize d by constructing a smooth low-momentum potential, V-low-k, that is used directly as input for the calculation of the effective interaction. In this paper we focus attention on the nuclei 134Sn and 135Sb which, with an N/Z ratio of 1.68 and 1.65, respectively, are at present the most exotic nuclei beyond 132Sn for which information exists on excited states. Comparison shows that the calculated results for both nuclei are in very good agreement with the experimental data. We present our predictions of the hitherto unknown spectrum of 136Sn.
We use nucleon-nucleon phase shifts obtained from experimental data, together with the chiral expansion for the long-distance part of the NN interaction, to obtain information about the short-distance piece of the NN potential that is at work in the 1S0 channel. We find that if the scale R that defines the separation between long- and short- distance is chosen to be lsim 1.8 fm then the energy dependence produced by short-distance dynamics is well approximated by a two-term polynomial for Tlab < 200 MeV. We also find that a quantitative description of NN dynamics is possible, at least in this channel, if one treats the long-distance parts of the chiral NN potential in perturbation theory. However, in order to achieve this we have to choose a separation scale R that is larger than 1.0 fm.
