The nuclei at the proton-drip lines are important to test nuclear models in extreme conditions. The near proton-drip line isotopes have been produced by bombarding 345A MeV 78Kr on the 9Be target by ...

Together with results by some nuclear mass models (denoted by pink block), calculations suggest that the isospin asymmetry of heavy nuclei at the neutron drip line tends toward a saturation value. The ...

Whereas some people play extreme sports, many nuclear physicists seek the thrill of extreme isotopes, by finding, for each chemical element, the largest possible number of neutrons that can be held by ...
