Abstract

The facilities for Rare Isotope Beams (RIB) enable scientists to make discoveries in rare isotopes (short-lived nuclei not found on Earth), nuclear astrophysics, fundamental interactions, and applications including medicine, homeland security, and industry. With its potential to explore weakly-bound nuclei with a large proton-to-neutron imbalance, RIB Facilities will offer unique opportunities for the understanding of the structure and decays of rare isotopes.

The covariant density functional theory (CDFT) , implemented with self-consistency and taking into account various correlations by spontaneously broken symmetries, provides an excellent description for the ground-state properties. Based on CDFT, not only the description of the single-particle motion in nuclei but also the self-consistent description of nuclear collective modes, such as rotations, vibrations, and isospin excitations, can be achieved by restoring the symmetries and/or considering quantum fluctuations.

This talk will focus on the nuclear structure physics of exotic nuclei including the limits of nuclear existence, the weakly-bound features of energy, the large spatial extension in space, the noval shapes, magice number, shell evolution, new radioactivities, clustering phenomena, and the ideas and general formalism of CDFT together with selected applications. Impact of the nuclear properties on chemical evolution in the cosmos, stellar explosionsand and neutron stars will be mentioned as well.
