Physical Applications of the Gamow Shell Model

Structure of weakly bound/unbound nuclei close to particle driplines is different from that around the valley of beta-stability. There are many unique features of exotic nuclei that give prospects for entirely new phenomena likely to be different from anything we have observed to date. These phenomena can be described using the Gamow shell model. Certain specific features of interactions in weakly bound systems have been recently identified. In general terms, these interactions depend explicitly on the location of various emission thresholds and on the structure of S-matrix poles which dominate the corresponding decays.
