The dependence of the $E2$ matrix elements on isospin projection $T_z$ is linked to the conservation of the isospin symmetry. To study this conjecture, we calculated the ${B(E2: 2^+ \rightarrow 0^+)}$ rates for the even-even $T=1$ mirror…
The measurement of momentum correlations of identical pions serves as a fundamental tool for probing the space-time properties of the particle emitting source created in high-energy collisions. Recent experimental results have shown that,…
Self-consistent strong plasma screening around light nuclei is implemented in the Big Bang nucleosynthesis (BBN) epoch to determine the short-range screening potential, $e\phi(r)/T \geq 1$, relevant for thermonuclear reactions. We…
I develop a reduced basis emulator for continuum-discretized coupled-channel (CDCC) calculations that achieves speedups of $\sim 10^2$ while maintaining sub-percent accuracy. The emulator is constructed using the proper orthogonal…
The fluid-dynamical modeling of a nuclear collision at high energy usually starts shortly after the collision. A major source of uncertainty comes from the detailed modeling of the initial state. While the collision itself likely involves…
We derive bounds on the equation of state of cold, dense matter by extending the causal, model-agnostic interpolation between chiral effective field theory and perturbative calculations with a microscopic constraint from relativistic…
The ratios of the one-proton knockout cross sections by a deuteron to those by a proton are about 1.5, indicating that using deuteron is more efficient than proton in yielding large knockout cross sections. However, this ratio differs from…
In non-central relativistic heavy-ion collisions, the produced quark-gluon plasma (QGP) behaves approximately as a rotating fluid due to the system's initial angular momentum. In this rotating fluid, the spins of quarks become polarized due…
An ensemble of neural networks is employed to extrapolate no-core shell model (NCSM) results to infinite model space for light nuclei. We present a review of our neural network extrapolations of the NCSM results obtained with the Daejeon16…
We present a comparison of model-space extrapolation methods for No-Core Shell Model calculations of ground-state energies and root-mean-square radii in Li isotopes. In particular, we benchmark the latest machine learning tools against…
In ab initio nuclear structure theory, accurately predicting electromagnetic observables, such as moments and transition rates, is essential for a comprehensive understanding of nuclear properties. However, computational limitations and…
We extend the concept of natural orbitals as an optimized single-particle basis for ab initio nuclear many-body calculations to hypernuclei and show that their superior properties, in particular accelerated convergence and independence of…
Landau's two-fluid model of superfluidity ceases to apply in regions where the condensate amplitude exhibits rapid spatial variation, such as vortex cores or in the vicinity of container walls. A recently proposed relativistic…
We investigate the nuclear equation of state (EoS) for isospin-asymmetric matter using a new set of RMF interactions with the $\sigma$-$\delta$ and $\omega$-$\rho$ mixing, referred to as the OMEG family. These interactions are optimized so…
This work presents three-body calculations of the cross sections for the $^3$He+T $\to$ n+p+$^4$He fusion reaction. These calculations were performed by solving a set of six coupled Faddeev integral equations, utilizing a cluster…
The production of $^{60}$Fe is crucial for nucleosynthesis in massive stars and supernovae. In this work, by using the microscopic EP+IPM (exact pairing plus the independent-particle model) for the nuclear level density (NLD) and extended…
In this work, we present the ``EP code" (version 1.0), a user-friendly and robust computational tool. It computes the exact pairing eigenvalues and eigenvectors directly from the general nuclear pairing Hamiltonian, represented using SU(2)…
We study rotating hybrid stars, with particular emphasis on the effect of spin on the deconfinement phase transition and star properties. Our analysis is based on a hybrid equation of state with a phase transition from hadronic matter…
The dynamics of partons inside the light $\rho$ meson is found to be essential for its properties and internal structure, both in free space and in the nuclear medium. In this paper, we systematically investigate the in-medium structure…
We investigate renormalization of chiral nuclear forces in the coupled channel of 3S1-3D1 of nucleon-nucleon scattering. The one-pion exchange potential is treated nonperturbatively at leading order while subleading potentials are…
