We address the $\Lambda$-hypernuclear `overbinding problem' in light hypernuclei which stands for a 1--3 MeV excessive $\Lambda$ separation energy calculated in $_{\Lambda}^5$He. This problem arises in most few-body calculations that…
The nonmesonic weak decay of $\Lambda$ hypernuclei is studied in a shell model framework. A complete strangeness-changing weak $\Lambda N \to NN$ transition potential, based on one boson exchange, is constructed by including the exchange of…
The evolution of single-particle energies with varying isospin asymmetry in the shell model is an important issue when predicting changes in the shell structure for exotic nuclei. In many cases pseudospin partner levels, that are almost…

We investigate the role of spin-dependent nucleon-nucleus interactions in nuclear reactions. To this end, we use neutron spin observables to constrain the dominant central spin-spin form factors and then apply the corresponding like-channel…
We investigate the ground-state properties of four mirror hypernuclei pairs--$^{10}_\Lambda$Be-$^{10}_\Lambda$B, $^{12}_\Lambda$B-$^{12}_\Lambda$C, $^{16}_\Lambda$N-$^{16}_\Lambda$O, and $^{40}_\Lambda$K-$^{40}_\Lambda$Ca--within the…
The weak production of Lambdas in nucleon-nucleon scattering is studied in a meson-exchange framework. The weak transition operator for the $NN \to N \Lambda$ reaction is identical to a previously developed weak strangeness-changing…
The use of spin observables to study the semi-leptonic and non-leptonic weak interaction in atoms and nuclei is surveyed. In particular, the use of semi-leptonic neutral current scattering and atomic parity violation to search for physics…
