Abstract:

The study of the properties of medium-heavy and heavy nuclei far from the stability line requires to develop new theoretical approaches. In the series of works, making use of the energy density functional we have elaborated a new method allowing constructing the separable form of the nuclear Hamiltonian. The method enables one to perform the calculations in very large configurational spaces. The generalized equations of the quasiparticle-phonon model were used to analyse low-energy spectra of neutron-rich nuclei, in particular, the mixed-symmetry states. The ifluence of complex configurations on the characteristics of giant and pygmy resonances was investigated. For the first time, we have studied the properties of the double-γ decay of the lowest quadrupole state. It was shown that the γγ-decay width is sensitive to the mixing of the simple and complex configurations. The generalized electric dipole polarisability is discussed as a new observable (to be nominated for the JINR Prize 2021).
