The nuclear density dependencies of the neutron and $\Sigma$ and $\Lambda$ hyperons are important inputs in the determination of the neutron star mass as the appearance of hyperons coming from strong attractions significantly changes the…
Brueckner theory is used to investigate the in-medium properties of a $\Lambda$-hyperon in nuclear and neutron matter, based on hyperon-nucleon interactions derived within SU(3) chiral effective field theory (EFT). It is shown that the…
The advent of nucleon-nucleon potentials derived from chiral perturbation theory, as well as the so-called V-low-k approach to the renormalization of the strong short-range repulsion contained in the potentials, have brought renewed…
The separation between single particle levels in nuclei plays the dominant role in determining the location of the neutron drip line. The separation also provides a test of current crossed shell model interactions if the experimental data…
Breakup reactions of loosely-bound nuclei are often used to extract structure and/or astrophysical information. Here we compare three non-perturbative reaction theories often used when analyzing breakup experiments, namely the continuum…
The hyperon potential, particularly its behavior at high densities, is crucial for resolving the ``hyperon puzzle'' in neutron stars and for advancing our understanding of the strong interactions between strange and non-strange particles in…
Shell-model calculations in a large model space are performed for _{\Lambda}^{16}O and_{\Lambda}^{17}O. Effective interactions with degrees of freedom of \Sigma in addition to \Lambda and nucleons are derived from hyperon-nucleon and…
A depth of $D_{\Lambda}\approx -28$ MeV for the $\Lambda$-nucleus potential was confirmed in 1988 by studying $\Lambda$ binding energies deduced from $(\pi^+,K^+)$ spectra measured across the periodic table. Modern two-body hyperon-nucleon…
Neutron-capture reactions on very neutron-rich nuclei are essential for heavy-element nucleosynthesis through the rapid neutron-capture process, now shown to take place in neutron-star merger events. For these exotic nuclei, radiative…

The hypertriton bound state is relevant for inference of knowledge about the hyperon-nucleon (YN) interaction. In this work we compute the binding energy of the hypertriton using the ab initio hypernuclear no-core shell model (NCSM) with…
The production of $^7$Be and $^7$Li nuclei plays an important role in primordial nucleosynthesis, nuclear astrophysics, and fusion energy generation. The $^3\mathrm{He}(\alpha , \gamma) ^7\mathrm{Be}$ and $^3\mathrm{H}(\alpha , \gamma)…
We generalize the Jacobi no-core shell model (J-NCSM) to study double-strangeness hypernuclei. All particle conversions in the strangeness $S=-1,-2$ sectors are explicitly taken into account. In two-body space, such transitions may lead to…
Nuclear mass is a key indicator of how the nuclear shell structure evolves. The recent mass measurement study of neutron-rich lanthanum isotopes [A. Jaries, $et~al$., Phys. Rev. Lett. {\bf 134}, 042501(2025)] reveals the presence of a…

In the paper, we propose a new approach to the mathematical description of the separation of a neutron from the atom's nucleus on the basis of the formalisms of tropical mathematics and nonstandard analysis. In studying the behavior of…
