Experimental studies of one nucleon knockout from magic nuclei suggest that their nucleon orbits are not fully occupied. This conflicts a commonly accepted view of the shell closure associated with such nuclei. The conflict can be…

The evolution of single-particle strengths as the neutron-to-proton asymmetry changes informs us of the importance of short- and long-range correlations in nuclei and has therefore been extensively studied for the last two decades.…
Neutron-rich P, Cl, and K isotopes, particularly those with neutron numbers around $N=28$, have attracted extensive experimental and theoretical interest. We utilize the \textit{ab initio} valence-space in-medium similarity renormalization…

Spectroscopic factors (SF) play an important role in nuclear physics and astrophysics. The traditional method of extracting SF from direct transfer reactions suffers from serious ambiguities. We discuss a modified method which is based on…

The $\mathrm{^{25}Al(p,\gamma)^{26}Si}$ reaction is part of a reaction network with impact on the observed galactic $^{26}$Al abundance. A new determination of the proton strength of the lowest $\ell=0$ proton-resonance in $^{26}$Si is…
Lifetime values for alpha decay in even-even nuclei with $Z=84-98$ and $N=128-152$ have been calculated in the superasymmetric fission model. The interaction between the alpha particle and the daughter nucleus has been formed in the double…
We compute the binding energy of neutron-rich oxygen isotopes and employ the coupled-cluster method and chiral nucleon-nucleon interactions at next-to-next-to-next-to-leading order with two different cutoffs. We obtain rather well-converged…
The prospects of extracting new physics signals in coherent elastic neutrino--nucleus scattering (CE$\nu$NS) processes are limited by the precision with which the underlying nuclear structure physics, embedded in the weak nuclear form…
