Nuclear Theory
In this work, we propose a novel approach for probing the neutron skin thickness of gold (Au) by analyzing the event-by-event distribution of $\pi^{-}$ and $\pi^{+}$ yield differences. This is achieved through SMASH simulations of…
Perturbative quantum chromodynamics (pQCD), while valid only at densities exceeding those found in the cores of neutron stars, could provide constraints on the dense-matter equation of state (EOS). In this work, we examine the impact of…
In this work, we extend the formalism of second-order relativistic dissipative hydrodynamics, developed previously using Zubarev's non-equilibrium statistical operator formalism. By employing a second-order expansion of the statistical…
Nucleon-deuteron ($Nd$) scattering can be used to constrain three-nucleon forces in chiral effective field theory ($\chi$EFT). However, high-fidelity calculations, such as the Hyperspherical Harmonic (HH) method, are computationally…
We discuss recent theoretical developments in low-energy heavy-ion reactions. To this end, we put emphasis on a viewpoint of probing nuclear shapes with heavy-ion reactions. We first discuss a single-channel problem with an optical…
We determine the form of dissipative currents at the first order in relativistic spin hydrodynamics with finite chemical potential including gradients of the spin potential. Taking advantage of isotropy in the hydrodynamic local rest frame,…
The rate for $\mu\to e$ conversion in nuclei is set to provide the most stringent test of lepton-flavor symmetry and a window into physics beyond the Standard Model. However, to disentangle new lepton-flavor-violating interactions, in…
Hartree Fock equations for finite range interactions in a slab of nuclear matter are presented and solved using an algorithm based on the Lagrange mesh method. This approach is faster and more efficient than the Numerov algorithm commonly…
We perform a study of electromagnetic radiation in heavy-ion collisions at Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) Beam Energy Scan (BES) and SPS energies using the iEBE-MUSIC framework, which includes 3D dynamical Monte Carlo Glauber…
In this work, a microscopic effective nucleon-nucleon interaction based on the Dirac-Brueckner-Hartree-Fock $G$ matrix starting from a bare nucleon-nucleon interaction is used to explore the $\alpha$-decay half-lives of the nuclei near…
We summarize our recent investigations on how causality violations in Israel-Stewart-type relativistic viscous hydrodynamic simulations can give rise to both analytical and numerical instabilities. The classification of spacetime regions…
We derive the volume dependence of bound states from a cluster-cluster picture with nucleon degrees of freedom. To achieve this, we demonstrate how to construct Jacobi coordinates on the lattice under the periodic boundary. A constant…
Parton distribution functions (PDFs) are comprehensive and not reliant on the process. They are affected by nuclear matter during nuclear scattering process. As a recent approach, in order to study the nuclear PDFs (nPDFs), the nucleon pair…
We present a microscopic study of the low-lying states of five odd-mass nuclei of particular interest for experimental searches of atomic electric dipole moments (EDMs): $^{129}$Xe, $^{199}$Hg, $^{225}$Ra, $^{229}$Th, and $^{229}$Pa. The…
Potential energy surfaces of nine even-even isotopes of Pt, Hg, and Pb around $^{186}$Pt are evaluated within a macroscopic-microscopic model based on the Lublin-Strasbourg-Drop macroscopic energy and the microscopic energy obtained using…
Mixing and coexistence of intrinsic nuclear shapes play an important role to determine the low-energy structure of heavy nuclei, and are expected to affect nuclear matrix elements (NMEs) of neutrinoless double beta ($0\nu\beta\beta$) decay.…
The well-tested empirical two quasiparticle rotor model calculations are used to characterize low-lying isomers in the odd-odd nucleus $^{162}$Lu. Physically admissible 2qp bandheads are obtained to construct the low-energy level structure…
We study the Gerasimov-Drell-Hearn (GDH) sum rule within a dynamical coupled-channel approach, the J\"ulich-Bonn model for light baryon resonances based on fits to an extensive data base of pion and photon induced data. Recently published…
Significant uncertainties persist in describing the equation of state and internal structure of hyperon stars due to the limited understanding of the mechanisms underlying hyperon interactions. Constraining the interaction parameter space…
The tilted-axis-cranking covariant density functional theory is applied to investigate the three newly-observed positive-parity bands SI, SII, and SIII in $^{69}$Ga. The energy spectra and angular momenta are calculated and compared with…
