We study the charge symmetry breaking (CSB) effect in mirror hypernuclei using the deformed Skyrme Hartree-Fock (DSHF)+ Bardeen-Cooper-Schrieffer (BCS) model together with the CSB term and pairing interaction. Our model provides good…
The recent experimental observation of isospin symmetry breaking (ISB) in the ground states of the $T=3/2$ mirror pair $^{73}$Sr - $^{73}$Br is theoretically studied using large-scale shell model calculations. The large valence space and…
The nearly degenerate triplet bands with the $\pi g_{9/2}^{-1}\otimes \nu h_{11/2} (g_{7/2},d_{5/2})$ configuration in $^{105}$Ag are studied via the relativistic mean-field (RMF) theory and the multiparticle plus rotor model (MPRM), which…
The ground-state mass excess of the $T_{z}=-2$ drip-line nucleus $^{22}$Al is measured for the first time to be $18103(10)$ keV using the newly-developed B$\rho$-defined isochronous mass spectrometry method at the cooler storage ring in…
Recent experiments have presented more accurate data on the $\Lambda\Lambda$-binding energies of a few $\Lambda\Lambda$- hypernuclei. This is important as the $\Lambda\Lambda$- bond energies ($\Delta B_{\Lambda\Lambda}$) of double-$\Lambda$…
Pseudo-SU(3) shell-model results are reported for M1 excitation strengths in 157-Gd, 163-Dy and 169-Tm in the energy range between 2 and 4 MeV. Non-zero pseudo-spin couplings between the configurations play a very important role in…
Spin-polarizabilities are predicted by calculating the cross-section difference $\sigma_{3/2}-\sigma_{1/2}$ from available data for the resonance couplings $A_{3/2}$ and $A_{1/2}$ and CGLN amplitudes. The forward spin-polarizabilities are…
The magnitude of binding energy used in the conventional nuclear theory to explain the EMC experimental data, seems to be larger than the one expected. In this paper to get sufficient depletion in the binding energy, different…
We examine the effect of isospin-violating meson-nucleon coupling constants and of $\pi$-$\eta$ mixing on the binding-energy differences of mirror nuclei in a model that possesses no contribution from $\rho$-$\omega$ mixing. The…
We use the spectrum of {42}Sc as input to calculate wave functions and energy levels of all nuclei in the single-j-shell model with j equal to f_{7/2}. The value of these results for educational purposes is pointed out. Also new insights…
The large charge symmetry breaking (CSB) implied by the $\Lambda$ binding energy difference $\Delta B^{4}_{\Lambda}(0^+_{\rm g.s.})\equiv B_{\Lambda}(_{\Lambda}^4$He)$-$$B_{\Lambda}(_{\Lambda}^4$H) = 0.35$\pm$0.06 MeV of the $A=4$ mirror…
We studied the proton-rich $T_z=-1$ nucleus $^{70}$Kr through inelastic scattering at intermediate energies in order to extract the reduced transition probability, $B(E2;\;0^+ \rightarrow 2^+)$. Comparison with the other members of the…
Results of a comprehensive shell model (SM) analyses, within the full $f_{5/2}pg_{9/2}$ model space, of the recently available experimental data [P. Ruotsalainen et al., Phy. Rec. C {88}, 024320 (2013)] with four $T=0$ bands and one $T=1$…
We study symmetry breaking in a left-right symmetric extension of the Standard Model with mirror fermions, one for each Standard-Model fermion. The new particles assist a top-quark condensate in breaking electro-weak symmetry. Half of the…
New $^{14}$N(d,p) angular distribution data were taken at a deuteron bombarding energy of 16 MeV to locate all narrow single particle neutron states up to 15 MeV in excitation. A new shell model calculation is able to reproduce all levels…
The concept of seniority plays a central role in nuclear structure physics by classifying many-body states according to the number of unpaired nucleons. While exact seniority conservation holds in single-$j$ systems with $j \leq 7/2$,…
I undertake an anatomy of the nuclear electric-dipole spectrum and discuss selected observations. First, using data and calculations on 208Pb as a representative case, I identify five conspicuous structures in the spectra of heavy nuclei:…
It is noted that in a calculation with 4 nucleons with isospin 1 in a single j shell (f_{7/2}, g_{9/2}, h_{11/2}) the state with median angular momentum J = (J_{max}+1)/2 lies very low in energy becoming either an isomeric state or a ground…
