Excited states of $^4$He are studied in four-body calculations with explicitly correlated Gaussian bases. All the levels below $E_{\rm x}$=26 MeV are reproduced reasonably well using realistic potentials. An analysis is made to show how the…
We apply the optimized-basis generator coordinate method (OptGCM) to sd-shell nuclei, $^{20}$Ne, $^{24}$Mg, and $^{28}$Si. This method variationally optimizes both the basis Slater determinants in the generator coordinate method (GCM) and…
We consider the potential benefits of searching for supersymmetric dark-matter through its inelastic excitation, via the "scalar current", of low-lying collective nuclear states in a detector. If such states live long enough so that the…
