The influence of finite temperatures and pairing correlations on the ground state properties of multi $\Lambda$- Ca, Sn and Pb hypernuclei is explored using finite temperature Hartree Fock Bogoliubov approach and contact pairing…
We propose a method to solve for the pseudoscalar bound state amplitude of a fermion and an antifermion from its Bethe--Salpeter equation (BSE) in the Minkowski space applying spectral representations. With the dressing of the fermion…
We compute the static density and spin structure factors in the long wavelength limit for pure neutron matter at subsaturation densities relevant to core-collapse supernovae within the Brueckner-Hartree-Fock (BHF) approach. The BHF results…
We propose a theoretical method to calculate the stellar $\beta$-decay rates of nuclei in stellar environments with high temperature and density, based on the projected shell model, where contributions from both allowed and first-forbidden…
In high multiplicity proton-proton $(p-p)$ collisions, the formation of a deconfined state of quarks and gluons akin to Heavy Ion Collisions (HIC) has been a subject of significant interest. In proton-proton ($p-p$) collisions, the…
In an effort to understand nuclei in terms of quarks we develop an effective theory to low-energy quantum chromodynamics in which a single quark contained in a nucleus is driven by a mean field due to other constituents of the nucleus. We…
We examine the effect of nuclear deformation on the calculated $\beta$-decay half-lives of 55 neutron-rich nuclei. The deformation values were computed using DD-PC1 and DD-ME2 interactions in the Relativistic Hartree-Bogoliubov model. Yet…
The low-energy enhancement observed recently in the deexcitation gamma-ray strength functions, suggested to arise due to the magnetic dipole radiation, motivates theoretical efforts to improve the description of M1 strength in available…
For light nuclei, ab initio many-body methods such as the no-core shell model are the tools of choice for predictive, high-precision nuclear structure calculations. The applicability and the level of precision of these methods, however, is…
We sample the posterior probability distributions of the low-energy constants (LECs) in $\Delta$-full chiral effective field theory ($\chi$EFT) up to third order. We use eigenvector continuation for fast and accurate emulation of the…
We use Bayesian methods and Hamiltonian Monte Carlo (HMC) sampling to infer the posterior probability density function (PDF) for the low-energy constants (LECs) up to next-to-next-to-next- to-leading order (N3LO) in a chiral effective field…
The number of low-energy constants (LECs) in chiral effective field theory ($\chi$EFT) grows rapidly with increasing chiral order, necessitating the use of Markov chain Monte Carlo techniques for sampling their posterior probability density…
The determination of the nuclear spectral function from the measured cross section of the electron-nucleus scattering process $e + A \to e^\prime + p + (A-1)$is discussed, and illustrated for the case of a carbon target. The theoretical…
The microscopic description of alpha decay from the nucleons' degree of freedom involves a two-step process. The first consists of the clusterization of neutron and proton pairs; the second involves the tunneling process. A robust protocol…
The construction of predictive models of atomic nuclei from first principles is a challenging (yet necessary) task towards the systematic generation of theoretical predictions (and associated uncertainties) to support nuclear data…
Using six different parametrizations of the quantum hadrodynamics (one of which is original), I study how different values of the symmetry energy slope ($L)$ affect some microscopic and macroscopic properties of neutron stars, such as the…
We investigate the thermoelectric effect, which describes the generation of an electric field induced by temperature and conserved charge chemical potential gradients, in the hot and dense hadronic matter created in heavy-ion collisions.…
State-resolved laser spectroscopy at the 10$^{-12}$ precision level recently reported in $arXiv$:2406.18719 determined the fractional change in nuclear quadrupole moment between the ground and isomeric state of $^{229}\rm{Th}$, $\Delta…
The role of the delta isobar degrees of freedom in nucleon-nucleon scattering is revisited. We attempt to understand why the dimensionally regularized two-pion exchanges with the explicit delta isobar is much stronger than the ones with…
A study of the nucleon mean-field potential in nuclear matter (NM) is done within an extended Hartree-Fock (HF) formalism, using the CDM3Y6 density dependent version of the M3Y interaction which is associated with the nuclear…
