Abstract

Neutron rich Zr nuclei with number of neutrons between N=50 and 82 are investigated in the relativistic mean field approach in coordinate space. The resonant levels in the positive energy continuum have been explicitly included in the calculation. Odd nuclei have been treated in the blocking approximation. Our calculation indicates that the dripline for odd mass isotopes is far away from that for the even mass ones. Pairing interaction plays a significant role in stabilizing the even isotopes, thus extending the dripline for them.
