One of the common methods used to investigate the nuclear structures of atomic nuclei is the nuclear shell model. Similar to the placement of atomic electrons into orbits, in the nuclear shell model, protons and neutrons are thought to fill…
Our ultimate goal is the construction of a model for interactions of two nuclei in the energy range between several tens of GeV up to several TeV per nucleon in the centre-of-mass system. Such nuclear collisions are very complex, being…
In this paper we model low-lying states of atomic nuclei in the nucleon-pair approximation of the shell model, using three approaches to select collective nucleon pairs: the generalized seniority scheme, the conjugate gradient method, and…
The g_{9/2} shell of identical particles is the first one for which one can have seniority-mixing effects. We consider three interactions: a delta interaction that conserves seniority, a quadrupole-quadrupole (QQ) interaction that does not,…
We construct an effective shell-model interaction for the valence space spanned by single-particle neutron and single-hole proton states in $^{100}$Sn. Starting from chiral nucleon-nucleon and three-nucleon forces and single-reference…
The broken pair model has been developed earlier as an useful approximation to the nuclear shell model for even-even nuclei. It is extended and developed here to include odd nuclei too. The model is then applied successfully in the Zr…
Large-scale shell model calculations were performed for neutron-rich even-even $^{132-136}$Te using a realistic effective interaction derived from CD-Bonn nucleon-nucleon potential for the positive and negative parity states. The calculated…
The formation of $\alpha$-particle clusters on the surface of heavy nuclei is described in a generalized relativistic mean-field model with explicit cluster degrees of freedom. The effects on the size of the neutron skin of Sn nuclei and…
The general nuclear contact matrices are defined, taking into consideration all partial waves and finite-range interactions, extending Tan's work for the zero range model. The properties of these matrices are discussed and the relations…
Neutron skins encode essential information about nuclear geometry, surface structure, and isovector response, yet a compact description across the nuclear chart remains elusive. We present an empirical analysis of neutron-excess surface…
Nuclear pairing gaps of normally deformed and superdeformed nuclei are investigated using the particle-number conserving (PNC) formalism for the cranked shell model, in which the blocking effects are treated exactly. Both rotational…

Study of the N ~ Z nuclei in the mass-80 region is not only interesting due to the existence of abundant nuclear structure phenomena, but also important in understanding the nucleosynthesis in the rp-process. It is not feasible to apply a…
The last decade has witnessed both quantitative and qualitative progresses in Shell Model studies, which have resulted in remarkable gains in our understanding of the structure of the nucleus. Indeed, it is now possible to diagonalize…
Semiclassical analysis of shell structures in realistic nuclear potentials are presented using periodic-orbit theory. We adopted r^alpha potential model and examined classical-quantum correspondence using Fourier transformation technique.…

The use of the seniority quantum number in many-body systems is reviewed. A brief summary is given of its introduction by Racah in the context of atomic spectroscopy. Several extensions of Racah's original idea are discussed: seniority for…
Large basis untruncated shell model calculations have been done for the A=138 neutron -rich nuclei in the pi(gdsh) X nu(hfpi) valence space above the 132Sn core. Two (1+2) -body nuclear Hamiltonians, viz., realistic CWG and empirical SMPN…
We point out the possibility of the {\em partial} conservation of the seniority quantum number when most eigenstates are mixed in seniority but some remain pure. This situation occurs in nuclei for the $g_{9/2}$ and $h_{9/2}$ shells where…
We present a procedure that is helpful to reduce the computational complexity of large-scale shell-model calculations, by preserving as much as possible the role of the rejected degrees of freedom in an effective approach. Our truncation is…
