Rotational excitations in near neutron-drip line nuclei: The birth and death of particle-bound rotational bands and the extension of nuclear landscape beyond spin zero neutron drip line

Two new mechanisms active in rotating nuclei located in the vicinity of neutron drip line have been discovered. Strong Coriolis interaction acting on high-j orbitals transforms particle-unbound (resonance) nucleonic configurations into particle-bound ones with increasing angular momentum. The point...
