We present an ab initio study of the correlation between nuclear matrix elements of neutrinoless double-beta ($0\nu\beta\beta$) decay and nucleon-nucleon scattering phase shifts in the $^1S_0$ channel. Starting from thirty-four…
The most probable outcome of the ternary fission is the emission of two heavy fragments and one light-charged particle. In about 90\%, these are $\alpha$ particles, which often referred to as the long-range alpha (LRA). Such decay has been…
Jet-associated deuteron production in $pp$ collisions at $\sqrt{s}=13$ TeV and $p$-Pb collisions at $\sqrt{s_{NN}}=5.02$ TeV is studied in the coalescence model by using the phase-space information of proton and neutron pairs from a…
A simple analytic expression of the three-body wave function describing the system $(\alpha\alpha n)$ in the ground state $\frac{3}{2}^-$ of ${}^9\mathrm{Be}$ is obtained. In doing this, it is assumed that the $\alpha$ particles interact…
We consider isospin-asymmetric matter in the parity-doublet model within an extended mean-field calculation, increasing continuously the neutron excess all the way to pure neutron matter. We compute the liquid-gas and the chiral phase…
The dynamics of N/Z and mass equilibration are investigated in the reactions 112,124Sn + 239Pu by employing the isospin-dependent quantum molecular dynamics model. It is found that N/Z and mass equilibration take place at different…
The universal relationships for compact stars have been investigated employing perturbative approach using canonical (APR) and Brussels-Montreal Skyrme (BSk22, BSk24, BSk26) equations of state describing hadronic matter of neutron stars.…
The investigation into the pairing phase transition in the odd-A nucleus 161Dy utilizes a sophisticated blend of covariant density functional theory and the shell-model-like approach. It is discerned that variations in thermodynamic…
The explicit expression for the probability of absorption of a twisted photon by an atomic nucleus has been obtained. It is shown that photoabsorption obeys the selection rule $j\geqslant|m_\gamma|$, where $j$ is the multipolarity of the…
In this work we improve on several aspects of the computation of the (anti-)neutrino charged-current multi-nucleon cross section carried out in Phys.Rev.C 83 (2011) 045501 and Phys.Rev.C 102 (2020) 024601. Most importantly, we implement a…
The significant global spin alignment observed for $\phi$ mesons in heavy-ion collisions has sparked intense discussions about its origin and implications. One explanation suggests that fluctuations in the strong force field may introduce…
An accurate description of low-density nuclear matter is crucial for explaining the physics of neutron star crusts. In the density range between approximately 0.01 fm$^{-3}$ and 0.1 fm$^{-3}$, matter transitions from neutron-rich nuclei to…
The $\Lambda$ hyperon spin flip and non-flip cross sections are calculated in a simple hadronic model by including both the $s$-channel process involving the spin 3/2, positive parity $\Sigma^*(1358)$ resonance and the $t$-channel process…
We introduce a new framework for the low-energy nuclear structure calculations, which describes the single-particle wave function as a superposition of localized Gaussians. It is a hybrid of the Hartree-Fock and antisymmetrized molecular…
In this work, we present an updated model for nuclear $\pi^0$ photoproduction, which incorporates pion second-order rescattering on intermediate excited nuclear states. Our approach is based on the distorted wave impulse approximation in…
We propose a general method embedded in the ab initio nuclear framework to reconstruct linear response functions and calculate sum rules. Within our approach, based on the Gaussian integral transform, we consistently treat the groundstate…
An exact analytical solution of the nonlinear boson diffusion equation (NBDE) is presented. It accounts for the time evolution towards the Bose-Einstein equilibrium distribution through inelastic and elastic collisions in case of constant…
In recent decades, there has been a significant increase in the measurement of complete fusion cross-sections for various reactions, with particular emphasis on the reactions involving weakly bound projectile. It has been well established…
The production mechanism of light nuclei in heavy-ion collisions is vital to understanding the intricate details of nucleon-nucleon interactions. The coalescence of nucleons is a well-known mechanism that attempts to explain the production…
Nuclei around $N\approx Z\approx 40$ are strongly deformed and exhibit coexistence of shapes. These phenomena have challenged nuclear models. Here we perform ab initio coupled-cluster computations of low-lying collective states and…
