In this contribution, we discuss recent results on the determination of the electric dipole polarizability $\alpha_D$ for the neutron-rich isotope $^{22}$O within the ab initio framework. Our calculations utilize the Lorentz integral…
We extend the pion-nucleus multiple-scattering framework to include detailed second-order rescattering dynamics for nuclei with non-zero isospin. To account for intermediate charge-exchange and nucleon spin-flip effects, we develop a…
We extend the spherical coupled-cluster ab initio method for open-shell nuclei where two nucleons are removed from a shell subclosure. Following the recent implementation of the two-particle attached approach [Phys. Rev.C 110 (2024) 4,…
A comparative study of the equation of state for pure neutron matter and symmetric nuclear matter is presented using three ab initio methods based on diagrammatic expansions: coupled-cluster theory, self-consistent Green's functions, and…
Neutron-skin thicknesses provide a sensitive probe of the isovector sector of the nuclear equation of state and its density dependence, commonly characterized by the symmetry-energy slope parameter L. A wide variety of experimental and…
Physics-informed neural networks (PINNs) have emerged as a powerful tool for solving differential equations, yet their application to quantum scattering problems has been hindered by the oscillatory, non-decaying nature of scattering wave…
Recent measurements of the compact star XTE J1814-338, with a mass of $M=1.2_{-0.05}^{+0.05}\ M_{\odot}$ and a radius of $R=7_{-0.4}^{+0.4} \ {\rm Km}$ alongside those of HESS J1731-347, which has a mass of $M=0.77_{-0.17}^{+0.20}\…
An analysis of the Lambda and Sigma single-particle potentials is presented, based on YN interactions derived within chiral effective field theory up to next-to-next-to-leading order (N$^2$LO). The self-consistent Brueckner-Hartree-Fock…
In relativistic heavy-ion collisions, the radial flow of the fireball, usually characterized by transverse momentum spectra of final-state particles, encodes essential information about the hot and dense nuclear matter created in the…
Relativistic heavy-ion collisions produce femtometer-scale sources whose space-time structure can be constrained using two-particle femtoscopic correlations. Standard implementations rely on the smoothness and on-shell approximations, which…
The inner crust of neutron stars hosts a rich variety of nuclear phenomena and provides a unique environment for exploring microscopic nuclear properties relevant to diverse astrophysical observations. Particularly magnetars, which possess…
Based on the microscopic mechanism of the particle-hole (p-h) excitations in the proton and neutron single-particle energy levels relative to the Fermi energy, a search for islands of shape coexistence (SC) is performed over a wide range of…
The evolution of the "microscopic" Hubble parameter related to the expansion of matter born in heavy-ion collisions was obtained for nucleons and pions. The calculations were carried out within the parton-hadron-string dynamics (PHSD)…
The Glauber model is a widely used framework for describing the initial conditions in high-energy nuclear collisions. TGlauberMC is a Monte Carlo implementation of this model that enables detailed, event-by-event calculations across various…
Enhancement, due to constructive interference through the many possible reaction channels, occurs in two-neutron transfer reactions from a bound system $A$ to a weakly-bound system ($A$+2), whenever the intermediate system is unbound and…
Accurate determination of the neutron skin thickness ($\Delta R_{\mathrm{np}}$) in finite nuclei is crucial for constraining the density dependence of the nuclear symmetry energy. In this work, we systematically investigate $\Delta…
The speed of sound is a key parameter for characterizing equilibrium states. However, sound waves change their properties when propagating through rapidly evolving anisotropic media, such as the quark-gluon plasma created in heavy-ion…
Event-by-event fluctuations of the mean transverse momentum (mean-$p_T$) provide a sensitive probe of collective dynamics beyond single-particle spectra and anisotropic flow. We present a systematic study of mean-$p_T$ fluctuation…
We study 22 hadronic and 100 hybrid equations of state (EoSs) that allow for heavy baryons and deconfined quark matter at high densities, aiming to establish quasi-universal relations for both slowly and rapidly rotating neutron stars. All…
The equation of state for dense nuclear matter in $\beta$-equilibrium is explored including the possibility of a doubly-strange H-particle. Consistent with experimental constraints, the mass of the H in free space is taken to be near the…
