Calculations in the sd and pf shells reported some time ago by Satu\l a\etal\ [Phys.~Lett.~B~407, 103 (1997)] are redone for an extended analysis of the results. As in the original work, we do calculations for one mass number in each shell…

We calculate the contribution of the nucleon-nucleon tensor interaction to single-particle energies with finite-range $ G $ matrix potentials and with zero-range Skyrme potentials. The Skx Skyrme parameters including the zero-range tensor…
Isospin e ffects on multifragmentation properties were studied thanks to nuclear collisions between di fferent isotopes of xenon beams and tin targets. It is shown that, in central collisions leading to multifragmentation, the mean number…
With stochastic transport simulations we study in detail central and peripheral collisions at Fermi energies and suggest new observables, sensitive to the symmetry energy below normal density. As such we identify on one hand the isospin…
In this study, cosmological models are considered, where dark matter and dark energy are coupled and may exchange energy through non-gravitational interactions with one other. These interacting dark energy (IDE) models have previously been…
Charge symmetry breaking (CSB) in the strong interaction occurs because of the difference between the masses of the up and down quarks. The use of effective field theories allows us to follow this influence of confined quarks in hadronic…
