Within the framework of the dinuclear system model, the production mechanism of neutron-rich heavy nuclei around N = 162 has been investigated systematically. The isotopic yields in the multinucleon transfer reaction of $^{238}$U +…
The neutron-capture reaction plays a critical role in the synthesis of the elements in stars and is important for societal applications including nuclear power generation and stockpile-stewardship science. However, it is difficult - if not…
Indirect methods in nuclear astrophysics are discussed. Recent work on Coulomb dissociation and an effective-range theory of low-lying electromagnetic strength of halo nuclei is presented. Coulomb dissociation of a halo nucleus bound by a…
The direct reaction theory widely used to study single-particle spectroscopic strength in nucleon transfer experiments is based on a Hamiltonian with two-nucleon interactions only. We point out that in reactions with a loosely-bound…

Background: The nucleus $^{32}$Mg ($N=20$ and $Z=12$) plays a central role in the so-called "island of inversion" where in the ground states $sd$-shell neutrons are promoted to the $fp$-shell orbitals across the shell gap, resulting in the…
We report on a shell-model study of Sn isotopes beyond N=82 employing a realistic effective interaction derived from the CD-Bonn nucleon-nucleon potential renormalized through use of the V-low-k approach. At present, the most exotic Sn…

Neutrino (antineutrino) scattering off $^{12}$C is one of various important key reactions for $\nu$-process in the nucleosysnthesis of light nuclei. Most of neutrino-nucleus scattering are considered through indirect processes within the…

We investigate the contributions of various reaction channels to the interaction, reaction, charge-changing and neutron-changing cross sections. The goal is to investigate the relation between microscopic interactions and the symmetry…
Isospin effects in 12C ion induced reactions on enriched tin isotopes are investigated. The isoscaling parameter B is determined for different mass regions of product nuclei. It is shown that the isoscaling parameter is sensitive to the…
Odd-odd nuclei around double shell closures are a direct source of information on the proton-neutron interaction between valence nucleons. We have performed shell-model calculations for doubly odd nuclei close to $^{208}$Pb, $^{132}$Sn and…
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…

Understanding how nuclear size evolves with the number of protons and neutrons tests our models of strongly interacting matter. The nuclear charge (and proton) radii accessible through electromagnetic probes carry fundamental information on…
For the last few decades, one-nucleon knockout reactions on light composite targets -- $^9$Be or $^{12}$C -- have been extensively used to study the single-particle (s.p.) structure of nuclei far from stability. To determine which…
Transfer reactions have provided exciting opportunities to study the structure of exotic nuclei and are often used to inform studies relating to nucleosynthesis and applications. In order to benefit from these reactions and their…
