Nuclear Theory
Low-energy theorems (LETs) for effective-range parameters in nucleon-nucleon scattering encode properties of the long-range part of the nuclear force. We compute LETs for S-wave neutron-proton scattering using chiral effective field theory…
Giant Resonances are, with nuclear rotations, the most evident expression of collectivity in finite nuclei. These two categories of excitations, however, are traditionally described within different formal schemes, such that vibrational and…
Deuteron-proton elastic scattering is considered at the energies from 880 MeV to 2 GeV at the scattering angles $\theta^*\ge 140^\circ$. The multiple-scattering method is used to calculate the reaction amplitude. Four reaction mechanisms…
The chiral magnetic wave (CMW) is a collective mode in quark-gluon plasma originated from the chiral magnetic effect (CME) and chiral separation effect. Its detection in heavy-ion collisions is challenging due to significant background…
The mirror energy difference (MED) of the mirror state, especially for states bearing the Thomas-Erhman shift, serves as a sensitive probe of isospin symmetry breaking. We employ the Gamow shell model, which includes the inter-nucleon…
The $pd$ radiative capture reaction plays a vital role in Big Bang nucleosynthesis and stellar proton-proton chain. The study of the low-energy reaction is challenging in both experiments and theories. Using the framework of potential…
The experimental evidence for the collective wobbling motion of triaxial nuclei is reviewed. The classification into transverse and longitudinal in the presence of quasiparticle excitations is discussed. The description by means of the…
The difference between the spin alignments of $K^\ast$ and those of $\phi$ at the low collision energies is a puzzle raised by the recent experiments. Unlike $\phi$ meson, $K^\ast$, carrying a unit strange charge, should react to strange…
The back-shifted Fermi gas model is widely employed for calculating nuclear level density (NLD) as it can effectively reproduce experimental data by adjusting parameters. However, selecting parameters for nuclei lacking experimental data…
Background: Nuclear reactions are complex, with a large number of possible channels. Understanding how different channels contribute to a given reaction is investigated by perturbing the continuous spectrum. Purpose: To develop tools to…
The moments of the charge distributions obtained by the analysis of electron-scattering data are examined in $^3$H and $^3$He. It is shown that the experimental form-factors are well explained, but the values of the moments of the charge…
The hexadecapole deformation ($\beta_4$) of the $^{238}$U nucleus has not been determined because its effect is overwhelmed by those from the nucleus' large quadrupole deformation ($\beta_2$) in nuclear electric transition measurements. In…
The exploration of nuclear mass or binding energy, a fundamental property of atomic nuclei, remains at the forefront of nuclear physics research due to limitations in experimental studies and uncertainties in model calculations,…
The nuclear magnetic octupole moment is revisited as a potentially useful observable for nuclear structure studies. The magnetic octupole moment, $\Omega$, is examined in terms of the nuclear collective model including weak and strong…
Isoscalar giant resonances are nuclear collective excitations associated with the oscillation in phase of protons and neutrons according to a certain multipolarity $L$. In particular, the isoscalar giant monopole resonance ($L=0$) is the…
The multipole modes of excitation for tetrahedrally deformed neutron-rich Zr isotopes are investigated using the quasiparticle finite amplitude method based on the covariant density functional theories. By employing the density-dependent…
Nuclear power reactors are the most intense man-made source of antineutrino's and have long been recognized as promising sources for coherent elastic neutrino-nucleus scattering (CE$\nu$NS) studies. Its observation and the spectral shape of…
We argue that the ratio between the shear viscosity and the shear relaxation time, $\eta/\tau_\pi$, should be defined as a thermodynamic quantity obtained from the equal-time symmetric correlator of the shear-stress tensor. In kinetic…
Dispersion theory is used to provide a model-independent low-energy representation of the three electromagnetic isovector transition form factors $N^{*}(1520)\to N$. At low energies the virtual photon couples dominantly to a pion pair.…
We propose a particle production mechanism analogous to the particle photoproduction processes, arising from the gluon-nucleon interactions in relativistic heavy ion collisions. The comparison is made on the effect of the gluon-nucleon…
