The model is shown to provide a reasonable description of the observed low-lying yrast and yrare states of the N = 28 even–even isotones from Si to Fe, and even–even Ca isotopes. The nature of states is addressed in terms of the competition between spherical and deformed intruder configurations, and the rigidity of the N = 28 shell gap is tested, particularly for 44S. The isomer in 44S is shown to arise from a weak mixing between the two configurations and called as shape isomer. The unresolved low-lying spectra in 46Ar is also approached using the core-excitations across N = 28 shell. The SU(3) structure in 42Si is supported by the present calculation. The nearly spherical nature of 50Ti, 52Cr, 54Fe and 42,44,46Ca isotopes is found, while the core excitations are found to be essential for the description of yrare states.

Our analysis focuses on crucial parameters: the zero-field cross-section of cluster dipole states and the binding energy of these states. For the Ge detector in our investigation, the zero-field cross-section of cluster dipole states is determined to be 8.45 × 10−11 ± 4.22 × 10−12 cm2. Examination of the binding energy associated with cluster dipole states, formed by charge trapping onto dipole states during the freeze-out process, reveals a value of 0.034 ± 0.0017 meV.

The accuracy of the parabolic approximation, often used in the finite temperature calculation of hot NSM, is verified by comparing with the results obtained from the exact evaluation in the neutrino-free NSM. The EoS of neutrino-trapped isoentropic matter at low entropic condition, relevant to the core-collapsing supernovae, is formulated. In the isoentropic matter, the particle fractions and EoS have marginal variance as entropy per particle vary between 1 and 3 (in the unit of kB), but the temperature profile shows marked variation. The isentropes are found to be much less sensitive to the nuclear matter incompressibility, but have large dependence on the slope parameter L. The bulk properties of the neutron stars predicted by the isoentropic EoSs for different entropy are calculated. A model calculation for the early stage evolution of protoneutron star to neutron star configuration is also given.","PeriodicalId":16766,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Physics G: Nuclear and Particle Physics","volume":"35 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.5,"publicationDate":"2024-06-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141509387","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
