Light exotic nuclei with extreme neutron excess and 2 ≤ z ≤ 8
Abstract
Using HF+BCS method we study light nuclei with nuclear charge in the range 2 ≤ Z ≤ 8 and lying near the neutron drip line. The HF method uses effective Skyrme forces and allows for axial deformations. We find that the neutron drip line forms stability peninsulas at 18He and 40C. These isotopes are found to be stable against one neutron emission and possess the highest known neutron to proton ratio in stable nuclei.
