Superheavy nuclei and beyond: hypermatter and antimatter

Walter Greiner ; Institut für Theoretische Physik, J. W. Goethe-Universität, D-60054 Frankfurt, Germany

Abstract

The extension of the periodic system into various new areas is investigated. Experiments for the synthesis of superheavy elements and the predictions of magic numbers are reviewed. Further on, investigations on hypernuclei and the possible production of antimatter-clusters in heavy-ion collisions are reported. Various versions of the meson field theory serve as effective field theories at the basis of modern nuclear structure and suggest structure in the vacuum which might be important for the production of hyper- and antimatter.

Keywords

superheavy nuclei; cold-fission valleys; antimatter; strange matter; meson field theory
