Nuclear Theory
The development of nucleus-nucleus interaction models is a rapidly developing area of heavy-ion physics. Recently, a new model DCM-QGSM-SMM, developed at JINR and oriented toward use within the NICA project at energies of several…
MFGSB, a computer code for self-consistent mean-field calculations of atomic nuclei using the Gaussian expansion method, is now accessible at Chiba University Repository.
We investigate the process in which Deeply Virtual Compton Scattering (DVCS) excites a baryon resonance. In particular, we assess, in DVCS leading to the Roper resonance, the relative importance of a "background'' process in which a pion is…
The quasiparticle finite amplitude method based on the deformed relativistic Hartree-Bogoliubov theory in continuum has been developed for the noncharge-exchange multipole response. Taking neutron-rich magnesium isotopes as examples, the…
Although there exists a clear and, in principle, exact theoretical formulation for the equation of motion for the response of a correlated fermionic system, its numerical implementations for atomic nuclei require feasible approximations.…
We compute nuclear response functions by solving the time-dependent A-body Schr\"odinger equation, recording the time-dependent transition moment and extracting spectral information via Fourier transforms. The solution of the time-dependent…
We employ the SMASH transport model to provide event-by-event initial conditions for the energy-momentum tensor and conserved charge currents in hydrodynamic simulations of relativistic heavy-ion collisions. We study the fluctuations and…
Muon-catalyzed fusion has recently regained significant attention due to experimental and theoretical developments being performed. The present authors [Phys. Rev. C {\bf 109} 054625 (2024)] proposed the tractable $T$-matrix model based on…
A brief excursion into the three-body problem in quantum mechanics is presented for graduate students or researchers in nuclear physics. Starting from single-particle coordinates, the three-body Schr\"{o}dinger equation is systematically…
We consider subleading contributions to the three-nucleon force from tree-level diagrams involving a single-pion exchange and a contact interaction between two nucleons, which appear at fifth order in the chiral expansion. We show that the…
The phase structure of the BCS-BEC crossover for neutron-proton superfluid in asymmetric nuclear matter is systematically investigated, with particular focus on the roles of the angle-dependent gap (ADG) and the…
Nucleon-removal reactions are a primary tool for extracting single-particle structure of rare isotopes, yet the ratio $R_s=\sigma_{\exp}/\sigma_{\mathrm{th}}$ of measured to theoretical cross sections drops systematically below unity for…
The ``hyperon puzzle'' remains a fundamental challenge in nuclear astrophysics. We investigate hyperon emergence in neutron star matter using the $SU(3)$ parity doublet model with chiral representation $(3,\bar{3}) + (\bar{3},3)$. This…
We study the effects of dark matter on the properties of hybrid neutron stars, in particular the influence on the mass-radius relation, the value of the maximum mass, and the hadron-quark phase transition. To single out the equilibrium…
The $\alpha$ decay provides valuable constraints on nuclear structure and plays an essential role in identifying heavy and superheavy nuclei. We study $\alpha$-decay half-lives of 178 even-even nuclei within a semi-classical WKB framework…
We investigate the stability and softness of nuclei against quadrupole, octupole, and hexadecapole deformation. By applying the spherical Skyrme-force Hartree-Fock Bardeen-Cooper-Schrieffer quasi-particle random phase approximation, we…
Recent high-energy heavy ion collision experiments have revealed that some atomic nuclei exhibit unusual softness and significant shape fluctuations. In this work, we use the fully self-consistent mean-field theory to identify all even-even…
The excitation functions of proton elastic scattering on $^{12}$C and $^{14,15}$O nuclei at the energies near the proton-emission threshold are calculated using the Skyrme Hartree-Fock (SHF) in continuum approach. For each excitation…
The electromagnetic dipole transitions in $^7$Be($p,\gamma$)$^8$B and $^7$Li($n,\gamma$)$^8$Li reactions at the keV-energy region were analyzed simultaneously within the Skyrme Hartree-Fock potential model. The Skyrme Hartree-Fock…
The excitation function of proton elastic scattering from $^{10}$Be at keV energy is calculated using the self-consistent Skyrme Hartree-Fock in the continuum method. The calculation successfully reproduces the narrow near-threshold…
