Multi chiral-doublets in one single nucleus

TL;DR

This paper introduces a novel theoretical approach to nuclear physics, predicting the existence of multiple chiral-doublet bands within a single nucleus, specifically in the A~100 mass region, using advanced relativistic mean field methods.

Contribution

The study develops adiabatic and configuration-fixed constraint triaxial relativistic mean field approaches for the first time, revealing multi chiral-doublets in one nucleus.

Findings

Predicts multiple chiral-doublet bands in $^{106}$Rh

Uses advanced RMF approaches for nuclear structure analysis

Suggests multi chiral-doublets are common in A~100 nuclei

Abstract

Adiabatic and configuration-fixed constraint triaxial relativistic mean field (RMF) approaches are developed for the first time and a new phenomenon, the existence of multi chiral-doublets (M$\chi$D), i.e., more than one pairs of chiral doublets bands in one single nucleus, is suggested for nuclei in A~100 region, typically for $^{106}$Rh, based on the triaxial deformations together with their corresponding proton and neutron configurations.
