The cross sections are calculated for the both elastic and inelastic scattering of 6He from 12C and 4He. A phenomenological optical potential is used to describe the elastic scattering. 4He is taken as spherical and inelastic couplings to…
Atomic nuclei can be spontaneously deformed into non-spherical shapes as many-nucleon systems. We discuss to what extent a similar deformation takes place in many-electron systems. To this end, we employ several many-body methods, such as…
The semi-empirical macroscopic-microscopic mass formula is further improved by considering some residual corrections. The rms deviation from 2149 known nuclear masses is significantly reduced to 336 keV, even lower than that achieved with…
Protons and neutrons in the atomic nucleus move in shells analogous to the electronic shell structures of atoms. Nuclear shell structure varies across the nuclear landscape due to changes of the nuclear mean field with the number of…
Precision mass spectrometry of neutron-rich nuclei is of great relevance for astrophysics. Masses of exotic nuclides impose constraints on models for the nuclear interaction and thus affect the description of the equation of state of…

Most atomic nuclei exhibit ellipsoidal shapes characterized by quadrupole deformation $\beta_2$ and triaxiality $\gamma$, and sometimes even a pear-like octupole deformation $\beta_3$. The STAR experiment introduced a new…

The information about sizes and nuclear density distributions in unstable (radioactive) nuclei is usually extracted from the data on interaction of radioactive nuclear beams with a nuclear target. We show that in the case of nucleus-nucleus…
We have calculated the fission fragments' mass distributions for several isotopes of heavy and super-heavy nuclei from uranium to flerovium within an improved scission point model. For all considered nuclei, in addition to the standard…
Neutron stars, produced at the death of massive stars, are often regarded as giant neutron-rich nuclei. This picture is especially relevant for low-mass (below about solar mass) neutron stars, where non-nucleonic components are not expected…
Recent ineleastic electron-proton scattering experiments have led to rather accurate values for the N->Delta transition quadrupole moment Q(N->Delta).The experimental results imply a prolate (cigar-shaped) intrinsic deformation of the…
Within the framework of the dinuclear system model, this study delves into the impact of various nuclear mass models on evaluating the fusion probability of superheavy nuclei. Nuclear mass models, as crucial inputs to the DNS model, exhibit…
Non-rotating neutron stars are generally treated in theoretical studies as perfect spheres. Such a treatment, however, may not be correct if strong magnetic fields are present (such as for magnetars) and/or the pressure of the matter in the…
Nuclear structures of the atomic nuclei can be theoretically investigated by using nuclear shell model. Generally, a doubly closed-shell nucleus has been considered as inert core and the nucleons outside the core are taken into account in…
Background: Understanding nuclear shape is a crucial problem in nuclear physics. In particular, determining the sign of quadrupole deformation, i.e., whether prolate or oblate, remains a challenging problem. Purpose: Our aim is to propose a…
