We investigate the tensor force (TF) effect %in the residual interaction on the Gamow-Teller (GT) transitions in four magic nuclei, $^{48}$Ca, $^{90}$Zr, $^{132}$Sn and $^{208}$Pb. The TF is taken into account by using the Br\"uckner…
In the late stages of stellar core-collapse, prior to core bounce, electron captures on medium-heavy nuclei drive deleptonization and simulations require the use of accurate reaction rates. Nuclei with neutron number near $N=50$, just above…
We calculate supernova electron capture and beta decay rates for various pf-shell nuclei using large-scale shell model techniques. We show that the centroid of the Gamow-Teller strength distribution has been systematically misplaced in…
We formulate a quasi-particle random phase approximation (QRPA) in the coordinate space representation. This model is a natural extension of the RPA model of Shlomo and Bertsch to open-shell nuclei in order to take into account pairing…
Drip-line nuclei have very different properties from those of the valley of stability, as they are weakly bound and resonant. Therefore, the models devised for stable nuclei can no longer be applied therein. Hence, a new theoretical tool,…
Nuclear magnetic-dipole (M1) and Gamow-Teller (GT) transitions provide insight into the spin-isospin properties of atomic nuclei. By considering them as unified spin-isospin transitions, the M1/GT transition strengths and excitation…

Accurate modeling of supernova (SN) feedback in galaxy formation simulations is complicated by energy conservation violations arising from the vector nature of momentum injection. We present a mechanical feedback scheme addressing two key…

Gamow shell model (GSM) is usually performed within the Woods-Saxon (WS) basis in which the WS parameters need to be determined by fitting experimental single-particle energies including their resonance widths. In the multi-shell case, such…
The presence of a particle continuum, both of a resonant and non-resonant character, can significantly impact spectroscopic properties of weakly bound nuclei and excited nuclear states close to, and above, the particle emission threshold.…
In nuclear structure calculations, the choice of a limited model space, due to computational needs, leads to the necessity to renormalize the Hamiltonian as well as any transition operator. Here, we present a study of the renormalization…
