Protons and neutrons in the atomic nucleus move in shells analogous to the electronic shell structures of atoms. The nuclear shell structure varies as a result of changes in the nuclear mean field with the number of neutrons N and protons Z, and these variations can be probed by measuring the mass differences between nuclei. The N = Z = 40 self-conjugate nucleus 80Zr is of particular interest, as its proton and neutron shell structures are expected to be very similar, and its ground state is highly deformed. Here we provide evidence for the existence of a deformed double-shell closure in 80Zr through high-precision Penning trap mass measurements of 80–83Zr. Our mass values show that 80Zr is substantially lighter, and thus more strongly bound than predicted. This can be attributed to the deformed shell closure at N = Z = 40 and the large Wigner energy. A statistical Bayesian-model mixing analysis employing several global nuclear mass models demonstrates difficulties with reproducing the observed mass anomaly using current theory.

轻质自共轭核80Zr的精密质量测量

原子核中的质子和中子在壳中移动,类似于原子的电子壳结构。核壳结构因核平均场随中子数N和质子数Z的变化而变化,这些变化可以通过测量原子核之间的质量差异来探测。N  =  Z = 40自 共轭核80 Zr 特别令人感兴趣,因为它的质子和中子壳结构预计非常相似,并且其基态高度变形。在这里,我们通过80-83的高精度 Penning 陷阱质量测量提供了在80 Zr中存在变形双壳闭合的证据锆。我们的质量值显示80 Zr 比预期的要轻得多,因此束缚力更强。这可以归因于N  =  Z  = 40 处的变形壳闭合和大的 Wigner 能量。使用几个全局核质量模型的统计贝叶斯模型混合分析表明,使用当前理论再现观察到的质量异常存在困难。
