Nuclear Theory
This study proposes a theoretical model for studying the spin characteristics and angular correlations of fission fragments of heavy nuclei. The mechanisms of spin formation, including the influence of transverse vibrations, are considered…
Level densities are often parametrized using the back-shifted Bethe formula (BBF) for nuclei that possess experimental data for s-wave neutron resonance average spacings and a complete discrete level sequence at low excitation energies.…
We compute the magnetic dipole (M1) $\gamma$-ray strength functions ($\gamma$SF) for the odd-mass lanthanides $^{143-151}$Nd and $^{147-153}$Sm using the shell-model Monte Carlo method in combination with the static-path approximation and…
At finite temperatures ($\geq 10^7$K), $^{76}$Se is abundant in the core of massive stars and electron capture on $^{76}$Se has a consequential role to play in the dynamics of core collapse. The present work may be classified into two main…
Twelve physics-informed machine learning models have been trained to model binding energy residuals. Our approach begins with determining the difference between measured experimental binding energies and three different mass models. Then…
The in-medium similarity renormalization group (IMSRG) is a powerful and flexible many-body method to compute the structure of nuclei starting from nuclear forces. Recent developments have extended the IMSRG from its standard truncation at…
Collective modes emerge as the relevant degrees of freedom that govern low-energy excitations of atomic nuclei. These modes - rotations, pairing rotations, and vibrations - are separated in energy from non-collective excitations, making it…
We discuss isospin analogues of the tetraneutron resonance and their possible manifestations in nuclear structure and reactions.
We present new microscopic effective shell-model interactions in the valence sd shell, obtained from the modern Daejeon16 nucleon-nucleon potential using no-core shell-model (NCSM) wave functions of 18F at Nmax=6 (total oscillator quanta of…
Global polarization of hyperons induced by the local vorticity of the medium created in heavy-ion collisions at energies 2.3\,GeV$\le\sqrt{s_{NN}}\le$11.5 GeV is calculated in the parton-hadron-string dynamic (PHSD) model. The separation of…
Pioneering electroweak measurements of the neutron skin thickness in lead-208 and calcium-48 are challenging our understanding of nuclear dynamics. Many theoretical models suggest that the slope of the symmetry energy controls the…
The Lindblad master equation is a frequently used Markovian approach to describe open quantum systems in terms of the temporal evolution of a reduced density matrix. Here, the thermal environment is traced out to obtain an expression to…
The electron capture plays significant role in the pre supernova and supernova evolutions of massive stars which in turn are of great importance in synthesizing heavy elements beyond iron. In this paper we study the effect of nuclear…
Proton neutron quasiparticle RPA is used for the first time to calculate weak interaction rates for sd and fp shell nuclei at high temperatures and densities. The calculated rates take into consideration the latest experimental energy…
We present calculation of electron capture cross sections (ECC), in the limit of zero momentum transfer, using the pn QRPA model in stellar matter. Towards this aim we make use of our recently introduced recipe for estimation of nuclear…
Using a three-flavor Nambu--Jona-Lasinio model to describe the charge-parity violating effects through axion field, we investigate the axion effects on quark matter and quark-matter cores in massive hybrid stars. The properties of quark…
As an update to our previously performed Bayesian inference analyses of the neutron star matter equation-of-state and related quantities, the additional impact of the recently published NICER data of PSR J0437-4751 is examined. Including…
We analyze the spin alignment of vector mesons stemming from spin correlation of the quark and antiquark induced by background color fields in relativistic heavy ion collisions. The quark-coalescence equation relating the collision kernel…
We explore the Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD) phase diagram's complexities, including quark deconfinement transitions, liquid-gas phase changes, and critical points, using the chiral mean-field (CMF) model that is able to capture all these…
Using the constraints from astrophysical observations and heavy-ion experiments, we investigate the equation of state (EOS) of hybrid star matter and the properties of quark-matter cores in hybrid stars. The quark matter interactions in…
