We show that, for the most generic model with two Higgs doublets possessing a minimum that preserves the $U(1)_{em}$ symmetry, charge breaking (CB) cannot occur. If CB does not occur, the potential could have two different minima, and there…
A study of light $\Lambda$ hypernuclei in chiral effective field theory is presented. For the first time chiral $\Lambda$NN and $\Sigma$NN three-body forces are included consistently. The calculations are performed within the no-core shell…
A recent suggestion [PLB 774 (2017) 522] that purely-$\Lambda^{\ast}(1405)$ nuclei provide the absolute minimum energy in charge-neutral baryon matter for baryon-number $A\gtrsim 8$, is tested within RMF calculations. A broad range of…

The recent announcement of a discovery of a possible Higgs-like particle -its spin and parity is yet to be determined- at the LHC with a mass of 126 GeV necessitates a fresh look at the nature of the electroweak symmetry breaking, in…
We extend our Skyrme-Hartree-Fock (SHF) approach, which was used earlier to describe successfully the single-$\Lambda$ hypernuclei, to investigate the binding and the $\Lambda \Lambda$ bond energies of the double-$\Lambda$ hypernuclei. The…
Significant progress has been made in recent years in constraining the density dependence of nuclear symmetry energy using terrestrial nuclear laboratory data. Around and below the nuclear matter saturation density, the experimental…

The HypHI Collaboration at GSI argued recently for a (Lambda-n-n) bound state from the observation of its two-body (t + pi-) weak-decay mode. We derive constraints from several hypernuclear systems, in particular from the A=4 hypernuclei…

Metz et al PRL (83), 1542 (1999) have presented evidence for supersymmetry in atomic nuclei but their model Hamiltonian fails to distinguish between irreducible representations that occur with multiplicities greater than one. This failure…
The non-mesonic weak decay of polarized Lambda-hypernuclei is studied for the first time by taking into account, with a Monte Carlo intranuclear cascade code, the nucleon final state interactions. A one-meson-exchange model is employed to…
