Advancing along the N = Z line: a 30 year odyssey

Creators

Description

N = Z nuclei have always had a special role in nuclear physics due to the symmetry of their wavefunctions, and their anomalously high binding energy. Beyond 56Ni they gain new significance, as they lie close to the proton dripline, and approaching 100Sn, they define the dripline. They are interesting for their structure, for rp-process nucleosynthesis, and as laboratories for weak interaction physics. In this paper I review some currently interesting topics and open questions.
