We show several examples were the tensor interaction of the lowest order G matrix in a nucleus is too strong. The examples include the quadrupole moment of $^{6}$Li, the isosplitting of the lowest 0$^{-}$ states in $^{16}$O, the near…
The ground states of all even-even nuclei have angular momentum, $I$, equal to zero, I=0, and positive parity, $\pi=+$. This feature was believed to be a consequence of the attractive short-range interaction between nucleons. However, in…
In this paper we present a systematic analysis on the average interaction between the last protons and neutrons in atomic nuclei, which can be extracted from the double differences of nuclear binding energies. The empirical average…
The structure of $^{26}$O is currently being investigated on both theoretical and experimental fronts. It is well established that it is unbound and the resonance parameters are fairly well-known. The theoretical analysis may involved two-…
Mixing of the low-1/2^{-}$ and $3/2^{-}$ is investigated, employing an instanton-induced quark-antiquark pair creation model, which precludes transitions between $s^{3}$ and $s^{4}\bar{s}$ configurations. Models with hyperfine interactions…
We apply a particle-particle RPA model to study the properties of the two-neutron valence wave function in nuclei 14-C, 12-Be, 11-Li and 14-Be. The RPA model takes account of two body correlations in the core so that it gives a better…
The behaviour of the i13/2 and h9/2 single-neutron strength was studied with the (4He,3He) reaction on 138Ba, 140Ce, 142Nd and 144Sm targets at a beam energy of 51 MeV. The separation between the single-neutron states i13/2 and h9/2 was…
High-resolution gamma-ray spectroscopy of 18N is performed with the Advanced GAmma Tracking Array AGATA, following deep-inelastic processes induced by an 18O beam on a 181Ta target. Six states are newly identified, which together with the…
We study the proton-neutron RPA with an extended Lipikin-Meshkov-Glick model. We pay attention to the effect of correlated ground state and the case in which neutron and proton numbers are different. The effect of the correlated ground…
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…
The extended pairing plus $QQ$ interaction with the $J$-independent isoscalar proton-neutron force as an average monopole field, which has succeeded in describing collective yrast states of $N \approx Z$ even-$A$ nuclei, is improved. The…
The Gamow-Teller strength for the transition from the ground state of 13C to the T=1/2, J^pi=3/2- excited state at 3.51 MeV in 13N is extracted via the 13C(3He,t) reaction at 420 MeV. In contrast to results from earlier (p,n) studies on…
The lattice QCD analysis of the HAL QCD Collaboration has recently derived $\Omega N$ and $\Omega\Omega$ interacting potentials with nearly physical quark masses ($m_\pi \simeq $ 146 MeV and $m_K \simeq $ 525 MeV). They found an attractive…
Compatibility between different datasets in a global fit is essential for determining whether a chosen model adequately describes the data. In a 3+1 sterile neutrino global fit, long-standing tensions between datasets sensitive to $\nu_e$…
The ground state of neutron-rich unbound $^{13}$Li was observed for the first time in a one-proton removal reaction from $^{14}$Be at a beam energy of 53.6 MeV/u. The $^{13}$Li ground state was reconstructed from $^{11}$Li and two neutrons…
We present the first ab initio coupled-cluster calculations of medium-mass nuclei with explicit chiral three-nucleon (3N) interactions. Using a spherical formulation of coupled cluster with singles and doubles excitations including explicit…
The reactions $^{10}$B(p,$\alpha$)$^{7}$Be and $^{11}$B(p,$\alpha$)$^{8}$Be are studied at thermonuclear energies using DWBA calculations. For both reactions, transitions to the ground states and first excited states are investigated. In…
We present a new Gogny-type finite-range effective interaction including a third Gaussian in the central term. Based on simple arguments valid for an arbitrary radial form factor, the three ranges are fixed from physical grounds, relating…
The dependence on the single-particle states of the pairing matrix elements of the Gogny force and of the bare low-momentum nucleon-nucleon potential $v_{low-k}$ is studied in the semiclassical approximation for the case of a typical…
The experimental level structure of 134Sb is compared with the results of a shell-model calculation in which the two-body matrix elements of the effective interaction have been derived from the CD-Bonn nucleon-nucleon potential. The…
