Robustness of chiral symmetry in atomic nuclei with reflection-asymmetric shapes

TL;DR

This paper discusses the robustness of nuclear chirality when reflection-asymmetric shapes are present, analyzing recent findings on quantum numbers related to chiral and reflection symmetry breaking in nuclei.

Contribution

It comments on recent results introducing new quantum numbers to describe nuclear systems with combined chiral and reflection symmetry breaking.

Findings

Chirality in nuclei remains robust despite reflection asymmetry.

Introduction of 'chiture' and 'chiplex' quantum numbers advances understanding of symmetry breaking.

Recent results highlight the interplay between chiral and reflection symmetries in nuclear structure.

Abstract

The present paper is a comment regarding the robustness of the chirality in presence of the space-reflection asymmetry, which leads to pairs of interleaved positive- and negative-parity bands. The recent results reported in Ref. \cite{2006.12062} which introduced the $chiture$ and $chiplex$ quantum numbers to describe an ideal nuclear system with simultaneous chiral and reflection symmetry breaking, are commented.
