Abstract

Nuclear physicists at the US Department of Energys Oak Ridge National Laboratory used the Cray XK7 Titan supercomputer to simulate the unique properties that lend some isotopes more stability. The team modeled the nuclei of various isotopes, including tin-100 and some of the neutron-rich carbon isotopes, to confirm the magicity of these elements nuclei. The results lead scientists closer to better understanding astrophysical phenomena, the elements origins, and fundamental aspects of subatomic particles.
