The region of heavy calcium isotopes forms the frontier of experimental and theoretical nuclear structure research where the basic concepts of nuclear physics are put to stringent test. The recent discovery of the extremely neutron-rich nuclei around ^{60}Ca O. B. Tarasov et al. [Phys. Rev. Lett. 121, 022501 (2018)10.1103/PhysRevLett.121.022501] and the experimental determination of masses for ^{55-57}Ca S. Michimasa et al. [Phys. Rev. Lett. 121, 022506 (2018)10.1103/PhysRevLett.121.022506… Expand

Bayesian approach to model-based extrapolation of nuclear observables
The mass, or binding energy, is the basis property of the atomic nucleus. It determines its stability, and reaction and decay rates. Quantifying the nuclear binding is important for understanding the… Expand
The limits of the nuclear landscape
TLDR
The number of bound nuclides with between 2 and 120 protons is around 7,000, and extrapolations for drip-line positions and selected nuclear properties, including neutron separation energies relevant to astrophysical processes, are very consistent between the models used. Expand

TLDR
The enhanced cross sections of several new nuclei relative to a simple thermal evaporation framework indicates that nuclei in the region around 62Ti might be more stable than predicted by current mass models and could be an indication of a new island of inversion similar to that centered on 31Na.
