Nuclear Model of Binding alpha-particles

The model of binding alpha-particles in nuclei is suggested. It is shown good (with the accuracy of 1-2%) description of the experimental binding energies in light and medium nuclear systems. Our preliminary calculations show enhancement of the binding energy for super heavy nuclei with Z~120.Comment: 4 pages, 2 figures, Will be puplished in World Scientific as Procs. Int.

Proof that the Hydrogen-antihydrogen Molecule is Unstable

In the framework of nonrelativistic quantum mechanics we derive a necessary condition for four Coulomb charges $(m_{1}^+, m_{2}^-, m_{3}^+, m_{4}^-)$, where all masses are assumed finite, to form the stable system. The obtained stability condition is physical and is expressed through the required minimal ratio of Jacobi masses. In particular this provides the rigorous proof that the hydrogen-antihydrogen molecule is unstable. This is the first result of this sort for four particles.Comment: Submitted to Phys.Rev.Let

On stability of the neutron rich Oxygen isotopes

Stability with respect to neutron emission is studied for highly neutron-excessive Oxygen isotopes in the framework of Hartree-Fock-Bogoliubov approach with Skyrme forces Sly4 and Ska. Our calculations show increase of stability around 40O.Comment: 5 pages, 3 figure

The Quest for the Heaviest Uranium Isotope

We study Uranium isotopes and surrounding elements at very large neutron number excess. Relativistic mean field and Skyrme-type approaches with different parametrizations are used in the study. Most models show clear indications for isotopes that are stable with respect to neutron emission far beyond N=184 up to the range of around N=258.Comment: 4 pages, 5. figure

Chain configurations in light nuclei

The model of nuclear matter built from alpha-particles is proposed. The strong deformed shape for doubly even N=Z nuclides from carbon to magnesium has been determined according to this model. In this paper we undertake very simple approach, which assumes the existence of low lying chain configurations.Comment: 6 pages, 5 figure

Rigorous conditions for the existence of bound states at the threshold in the two-particle case

In the framework of non-relativistic quantum mechanics and with the help of the Greens functions formalism we study the behavior of weakly bound states as they approach the continuum threshold. Through estimating the Green's function for positive potentials we derive rigorously the upper bound on the wave function, which helps to control its falloff. In particular, we prove that for potentials whose repulsive part decays slower than $1/r^{2}$ the bound states approaching the threshold do not spread and eventually become bound states at the threshold. This means that such systems never reach supersizes, which would extend far beyond the effective range of attraction. The method presented here is applicable in the many--body case
