From the lightest Hydrogen isotopes up to the recently synthesized Oganesson (Z=118), it is estimated that as many as about 3000 atomic nuclei could exist in nature. Most of these nuclei are too short-lived to be occurring on Earth, but…

Systematic comparisons across theoretical predictions for the properties of dense matter, nuclear physics data, and astrophysical observations (also called meta-analyses) are performed. Existing predictions for symmetric nuclear and neutron…

For a better understanding of the dynamics of exotic nuclei it is of crucial importance to develop a practical microscopic theory easy to be applied to a wide range of masses. Theoretically the basic task consists in formulating an easy…
