We present a shell-model analysis of $N=51$ isotones, $^{93}$Mo, $^{95}$Ru, $^{97}$Pd, and $^{99}$Cd, to quantify the role of neutron-proton interactions in shaping the location and half-life of isomeric states. The study is motivated by…
Quantum computing is one of the most promising technologies of the near future, and the simulation of quantum many-body systems is a natural application. In this work, we present classical simulations of the ground states of light atomic…
We calculate the equation of state (EOS) of spin-polarized nuclear matter in the relativistic Hartree-Fock method. To this end, we employ the relativistic point-coupling model, with which the Fock terms are considerably simplified, reducing…
Halo effective field theory (Halo-EFT) has proved to be very efficient for describing halo nuclei within models of nuclear reactions. Its order-by-order expansion scheme enables us to single out the structure observables that are probed in…
Neutron matter is an important many-body system that provides valuable constraints for the equation of state (EOS) of neutron stars. Neutron-matter calculations employing chiral effective field theory (EFT) interactions have been…
Nuclear reactions at intermediate beam energies are often interpreted using the eikonal model. In the analysis of complex reaction probes, where few-body reaction methods are needed, the eikonal method may be used as an efficient way for…
A systematic study of parametric uncertainties in transfer reactions is performed using the recently developed uncertainty quantified global optical potential (KDUQ). We consider reactions on the doubly-magic spherical nucleus $^{48}$Ca and…
The correlations $\chi^{BQ}_{11},\ \chi^{BS}_{11} ,\ \chi^{QS}_{11}$ and quadratic (quartic) fluctuations $\chi^{B,\ Q,\ S}_{2,4}$ of baryon number $B$, electric charge $Q$ and strangeness $S$ are investigated in a three-flavor PNJL model…
The quasi-free nucleon knockout reaction has been revealed the single-particle nature of nuclei. Thanks to the advances in experimental techniques and reaction theory, various new aspects of nuclei are being revealed by knockout reactions.…
The present article demonstrates that the deuteron, i.e. the lightest bound nuclear system made of a single proton and a single neutron, can be accurately described within a mean-field-based framework. Although paradoxical at first glance,…
This paper addresses the challenges of solving the quantum many-body problem, particularly within nuclear physics, through the configuration interaction (CI) method. Large-scale shell model calculations often become computationally…
We study the recently measured beta-decay of $^{70}$Kr into $^{70}$Br within the framework of the large-scale shell model. The enhancement in the Gamow-Teller (GT) transition strength in $^{70}$Br compared to the $\beta$-decay of the…
A statistical method is presented to evaluate the uncertainty bands in the optical nucleus-nucleus potential and in differential cross sections. The starting point is the least square fit of a set of experimental values of elastic…
J-PARC E05 reported recently a hint of a $\Xi^--{^{11}{\rm B}}$ nuclear state in the ${^{12}}{\rm C}(K^-,K^+){^{12}_{\Xi}}{\rm Be}$ spectrum, bound by $B_{\Xi^-}=8.9\pm 1.4 {^{+3.8}_{-3.1}}$ MeV. Using a density-dependent $\Xi$-nuclear…
Recent measurements of the $E2$ transition rate from the ground state to the first 2$^+$ excited state of the proton dripline nucleus $^{36}$Ca show an unusual pattern when compared to its isotopic neighbor $^{38}$Ca: despite having a…
Tidal deformability measures how NS can comfortably deform as a response to an applied tidal field. We use updated constraints on the mass, radius, and tidal deformability of neutron star (NS) objects and pulsars to examine nuclear…
\begin{description} \item[Background] Fusion reactions play an important role in nucleosynthesis and in applications to society. Yet they remain challenging to model. \item[Purpose] In this work, we investigate the features of the…
The thermodynamic properties of an ideal bosonic system composed of particles and antiparticles at finite temperatures are examined within the framework of a scalar field model. It is assumed that particle-antiparticle pair creation occurs;…
Within the relaxation time approximation under a constant mass profile, we investigate the collective dynamics of a system of massive relativistic particles described by the Maxwell-Boltzmann equilibrium distribution. We analytically derive…
We obtain a form of the local thermodynamic equilibrium density operator which is invariant under pseudo-gauge transformations of the stress-energy and the spin tensors. This operator is an excellent candidate to describe the dynamics of a…
