We have performed shell-model calculations of binding energies of nuclei around $^{132}$Sn. The main aim of our study has been to find out if the behavior of odd-even staggering across N=82 is explainable in terms of the shell model. In our…
We postulate that non-perturbative QCD effects occurring during parton fragmentation can result in collective effects of a multi-parton system, reminiscent of those observed in high-energy hadronic or nuclear interactions with large…
Neutrons can induce background events in underground experiments looking for rare processes. Neutrons in a MeV range in deep underground laboratories are produced in spontaneous fission processes and ($\alpha,n$) reactions. A number of…

Differential cross sections of nuclear reactions often exhibit characteristic oscillations in the angular distribution originated from an interference of two indistinguishable processes. Here we propose a novel method to visualize origins…

A simple method to calculate dispersion of the total number of droplets appeared in the process of nucleation caused by the smooth variation of external conditions has been presented. The analytical result for dispersion is compared with…
Thermodynamical properties of hot and dense nuclear matter are analyzed and compared for different equation of state (EoS). It is argued that the softest point of the equation of state and the strangeness separation on the phase boundary…
