Magic Numbers in Boson <sup>4</sup>He Clusters: The Auger Evaporation Mechanism

The absence of magic numbers in bosonic <sup>4</sup>He clusters predicted by all theories since 1984 has been challenged by high-resolution matter-wave diffraction experiments. The observed magic numbers were explained in terms of enhanced growth rates of specific cluster sizes for which...
