The study of the hyperfine anomaly of neutron rich nuclei, in particular, neutron halo nuclei, can give a very specific and unique way to measure their neutron distribution and confirm a halo structure. The hyperfine structure anomaly in…
Smashing nuclei at ultrarelativistic speeds and analyzing the momentum distribution of outgoing debris provides a powerful method to probe the many-body properties of the incoming nuclear ground states. Within a perturbative description of…
Significant advances have been made in recent years in the exploration of clustering in light nuclei. This progress has arisen not only from the investigation of new systems, but also through the development and application of novel probes.…
In order to clear up the sensitivity of the nucleus--nucleus reaction cross sections $\sigma_R$ to the nuclear matter distributions in exotic halo nuclei, we have calculated the values of $\sigma_R$ for scattering of $^6$He, $^{11}$Li, and…
We discuss recent work on Coulomb dissociation and an effective-range theory of low-lying electromagnetic strength of halo nuclei. We propose to study Coulomb dissociation of a halo nucleus bound by a zero-range potential as a homework…
The Continuum-Discretized Coupled-Channels (CDCC) has been successfully employed to describe elastic and breakup of nuclear reactions induced by weakly bound projectiles. In this contribution, we review some other, less widespread…
Halo nuclei are characterized by a few weakly bound halo nucleons and a more tightly bound core. This separation of scales can be exploited in a few-body description of halo nuclei, since the detailed structure of the core is not resolved…
We study dynamical effects in proton breakup from a weakly bound state in an exotic nucleus on a heavy target. The Coulomb interactions between the proton and the core and the proton and the target are treated to all orders, including also…
We introduce a novel set of observables associated to the rapidly developing field of persistent homology for the quantitative characterization of nuclear collisions and their evolution. Persistent homology allows for the identification of…
Knowledge on nuclear cluster physics has increased considerably as nuclear clustering remains one of the most fruitful domains of nuclear physics, facing some of the greatest challenges and opportunities in the years ahead. The occurrence…
We describe a reaction mechanism which is consistent with all available experimental information of high energy three-body breakup processes. The dominating channels are removal of one of the three halo particles leaving the other two…
The study of inelastic scattering and multi-nucleon transfer reactions was performed by bombarding a $^{9}$Be target with a $^3$He beam at an incident energy of 30 MeV. Angular distributions for $^9$Be($^3$He,$^3$He)$^{9}$Be,…
The Gamow shell model provides the open quantum system formulation of nuclear shell model. In the coupled-channel representation, Gamow shell model provides the unified theory of nuclear structure and reactions which is well suited for the…
Nucleonic matter displays a quantum liquid structure, but in some cases finite nuclei behave like molecules composed of clusters of protons and neutrons. Clustering is a recurrent feature in light nuclei, from beryllium to nickel. For…
Similarities between models of fragmenting nuclei and disordered systems in condensed matter suggest corresponding methods. Several theoretical models of fragmentation investigated in this fashion show marked differences, indicating…
The effect of initial correlations between nucleons on the nuclear break-up mechanism is studied. A quantum transport theory which extends standard mean-field approach is developed to incorporate short range pairing correlation as well as…
Strongly correlated many-body systems often display the emergence of simple patterns and regular behaviour of their global properties. Phenomena such as clusterization, collective motion and appearance of shell structures are commonly…
We give an overview of the theoretical description of nuclear reactions involving weakly-bound nuclei. Some of the more widespread reaction formalisms employed in the analysis of these reactions are briefly introduced, including various…
The hypothesis of the multi peripheral model is extended to the hadron-nucleus interactions and then generalized to the nucleus-nucleus case. The processing of the model depends on input parameters that are extracted from the features of…
We extend the concept of natural orbitals as an optimized single-particle basis for ab initio nuclear many-body calculations to hypernuclei and show that their superior properties, in particular accelerated convergence and independence of…
