A new scheme to study the properties of finite nuclei is proposed based on the Dirac-Brueckner-Hartree-Fock (DBHF) approach starting from a bare nucleon-nucleon interaction. The relativistic structure of the nucleon self-energies in nuclear…
The propagator of two nucleons in infinite nuclear matter is evaluated by a diagonalization of the $pphh$ RPA Hamiltonian. This effective Hamiltonian is non-Hermitian and, for specific density domains and partial waves, yields pairs of…
The problem of the near vanishing of the Gamow-Teller transition ($GT$) in the A=14 system between the lowest $J=0^+~ T=1$ and $J=1^+~ T=0$ states is revisited. The model space is extended from the valence space $(p^{-2})$ to the valence…
Modern nucleon-nucleon (NN) potentials, which accurately fit the nucleon-nucleon scattering phase shifts, contain terms which break isospin symmetry. The effects of these symmetry violating terms on the bulk properties of nuclear matter are…
We study the symmetry energy in infinite nuclear matter employing a non-relativistic Brueckner-Hartree-Fock approach and using various new nucleon-nucleon (NN) potentials, which fit np and pp scattering data very accurately. The potential…
The convergence of the perturbation expansion for the effective interaction to be used in shell-model calculations is investigated as function of the mass number $A$, from $A=4$ to $A=208$. As the mass number increases, there are more…
The cross section for the removal of high-momentum protons from 16O is calculated for high missing energies. The admixture of high-momentum nucleons in the 16O ground state is obtained by calculating the single-hole spectral function…
The spin-orbit splittings in the spectra of nuclei with mass numbers 5, 15 and 17 are studied within the framework of shell-model configuration mixing calculations including 2$\hbar \omega$ excitations. The contributions of the two-body…
