We study the bulk deformation properties of the Skyrme nuclear energy density functionals. Following simple arguments based on the leptodermous expansion and liquid drop model, we apply the nuclear density functional theory to assess the…
We study the important for the experiment features of the effect of the electron shell on alpha decay in the adiabatic approach. The effect is of tenths of a percent or less in magnitude, depending on the transition energy and the atomic…
$^{56}$Ni is an important indicator of the supernova explosions, which characterizes light curves. Nevertheless, rather than $^{56}$Ni, the explosion energy has often been paid attention from the explosion mechanism community, since it is…
Beta-decay properties of neutron-rich Ca isotopes have been obtained. Half-life values were determined for the first time for 54Ca [86(7) ms], 55Ca [22(2) ms], and 56Ca [11(2) ms]. The half-life of 230(6) ms deduced for 53Ca is…
The astrophysical $s$-process is one of the two main processes forming elements heavier than iron. A key outstanding uncertainty surrounding $s$-process nucleosynthesis is the neutron flux generated by the ${}^{22}\mathrm{Ne}(\alpha,…
We apply a spin-projection method to calculate microscopically the level densities of a family of nickel isotopes $^{59-64}$Ni using the shell model Monte Carlo approach in the complete $pfg_{9/2}$ shell. Accurate ground-state energies of…

In this work, we have analyzed the structural properties of even-even $^{126-188}Nd_{60}$ isotopes. For this we have used axially deformed Relativistic Mean Field (RMF) model with PK1 and NL-SH parametrization. In structural properties, We…
Neutrino reaction cross-sections, $(\nu_\mu,\mu^-)$, $(\nu_e,e^-)$, $\mu$-capture and photoabsorption rates on $^{12}$C are computed within a large-basis shell-model framework, which included excitations up to $4\hbar\omega$. When…
The resonance strength of the two-step process of nuclear excitation by electron capture followed by $\gamma$ decay of the nucleus can be significantly increased in highly charged ions if the resonant capture proceeds via an excited…
Recent experimental data have demonstrated that $^{76}$Ge may be a rare example of a nucleus exhibiting rigid $\gamma$-deformation in the low-spin regime. In the present work, the experimental analysis is supported by microscopic…

We use early-time observations of He I 10830 \AA to measure the extent of upward mixing of radioactive material in SN 1987A. This work develops and extends the work of Graham (1988), and places constraints on actual explosion models. The…
Type Ia supernovae are thought to be the outcome of the thermonuclear explosion of a carbon/oxygen white dwarf in a close binary system. Their optical light curve is powered by thermalized gamma-rays produced by the radioactive decay of…
We compute the magnetic dipole (M1) $\gamma$-ray strength functions ($\gamma$SF) for the odd-mass lanthanides $^{143-151}$Nd and $^{147-153}$Sm using the shell-model Monte Carlo method in combination with the static-path approximation and…

Gamma ray lines are expected to be emitted as part of the afterglow of supernova explosions, because radioactive decay of freshly synthesised nuclei occurs. Significant radioactive gamma ray line emission is expected from 56Ni and 44Ti…
