The effect of the ``$B$'' term in the interaction $-\chi Q\cdot Q(1+B\vec{\tau}(1)\cdot \vec{\tau}(2))$, which was previously considered in the $0p$ shell, is now studied in a larger space which includes $\Delta N=2$ excitations. We still…

Background: Understanding the experimental $B(E2)$ values for Sn isotopes around $^{110}$Sn has been a significant challenge in nuclear structure studies for over a decade. Both experimental data and many, though not all, calculations…
Three-nucleon forces are an essential ingredient for an accurate description of nuclear few- and many-body systems. However, implementing them directly in many-body calculations is technically very challenging. Thus, there is a need for an…
It is well known that intranuclear-cascade models generally overestimate the cross sections for one-proton removal from heavy, stable nuclei by a high-energy proton beam, but they yield reasonable predictions for one-neutron removal from…
