Nuclear Theory
Nuclear fission can be modelled as a quantum tunneling process driven by the interplay between the nuclear binding energy and the collective inertia. Within the Wentzel-Kramers-Brillouin formalism, spontaneous fission half-lives can be…
We present the historical antecedents to the field of relativistic heavy ion physics, beginning with early attempts to model the strong interaction and ending with the endorsement of a relativistic heavy ion collider in the 1983 U.S.…
The decays of $N^*$ and $\Delta^*$ resonances into $N\rho$, $\Delta\pi$ and $N\sigma$ final states are studied in a coupled-channel analysis of data on pion- and photo-induced reactions. Improvements in the fit were observed when new…
The isobaric caloric curve is considered in subcritical states region. The energy fluctuations along the caloric curve are determined for small nuclear systems which consist of limited number of nucleons. The temperature dependence of heat…
The structure of low-lying states of $N=50$ nuclei is investigated by the advanced Monte Carlo shell model (MCSM) in the $\pi{(fp)}$-$\nu{(sdg)}$ model space. We have employed the shell-model Hamiltonian based on the valence-space in-medium…
We investigate the role of short-range correlations (SRC) in the transverse nuclear response within the quasielastic peak region, focusing on the 1p1h channel. The calculation is performed in nuclear matter by solving the Bethe-Goldstone…
We present a microscopic triaxial quadrupole-octupole collective Hamiltonian (TQOCH) that unifies collective rotations, quadrupole-octupole vibrations, and their couplings to model low-lying nuclear states of both parities. The TQOCH's…
This study investigates the effects of strong magnetic fields on antikaon condensation in neutron star matter using the extended FSUGold model model. It is found that the presence of strong magnetic fields alters the threshold density of…
We study numerically the small-$x$ behaviour of the nuclear gluon distribution function $ G^A(x,Q^2)$ at next-to-leading order (NLO) approximation of the Gribov-Levin-Ryskin-Mueller-Qiu, Zhu-Ruan-Shen (GLR-MQ-ZRS) nonlinear equation and…
Dipole bosons are introduced in the interacting boson model (IBM) by means of the self-consistent mean-field method. The constrained mean-field calculations employing a given nuclear energy density functional yield the potential energy…
The possible bound state of the $ \phi N \alpha $ system is explored within the framework of the three-body cluster model. The calculations are done by employing the state-of-the-art $ \phi $N interactions obtained from the analysis of the…
We present a relativistic mean-field model that incorporates charge symmetry breaking (CSB) of nuclear force via $ \omega $-$ \rho^0 $ meson mixing, along with corrections to the electromagnetic interaction including the nucleon form…
We generalize a recent prescription for the relaxation time approximation for the relativistic Boltzmann equation for systems with multiple particle species at finite temperature. This is performed by adding counter-terms to the traditional…
We report the first \textit{ab initio} calculation of the nuclear-structure-dependent radiative correction $ \delta_{ \mathrm{NS} } $ to the $ {}^{10}\mathrm{C} \rightarrow {}^{10}\mathrm{B} $ superallowed transition, computed with the…
We report on the first quantum Monte Carlo calculations of helium isotopes with fully propagated theoretical uncertainties from the interaction to the many-body observables. To achieve this, we build emulators for solutions to the Faddeev…
The nonelastic breakup (NEB), one of channels in $(d,p)$ inclusive reactions, is studied using the Faddeev-type scattering theory. The NEB differential cross section is obtained in terms of the imaginary part of the neutron-nucleus optical…
In this review, we discuss recent applications of the ab initio symmetry-adapted no-core shell-model (SA-NCSM) theory for study and prediction of structure and reactions of stable and unstable nuclei from light to medium mass range. We…
Prompt photon measurements in relativistic nuclear collisions serve as an essential comparative basis for heavy ion studies enabling the separation of medium induced effects. However, the identification of prompt photons is experimentally…
Background: At intermediate energies, transfer reactions are suppressed because the momentum-matching condition is difficult to satisfy. In the standard distorted wave Born approximation (DWBA), a high momentum component of the transferred…
We revisit the extraction of the $|V_{ud}|$ CKM matrix element from the superallowed transition decay rate of $^{26m}$Al$\rightarrow$$^{26}$Mg, focusing on finite nuclear size effects. The decay rate dependence on the $^{26m}$Al charge…
