We study the properties of hypernuclei containing one lambda hyperon in the framework of the correlated basis function theory with Jastrow correlations. Fermi hypernetted chain integral equations are derived and used to evaluate energies…
We compute the momentum-space probability density of ${}^6$He at leading order in Halo EFT. In this framework, the ${}^6$He nucleus is treated as a three-body problem with a ${}^4$He core ($c$) and two valence neutrons ($n$). This requires…
An {\it ab initio} calculation of the $^4$He$(e,e^\prime p)^3$H longitudinal response is presented. The use of the integral transform method with a Lorentz kernel has allowed to take into account the full four--body final state interaction…

The repulsive three-body force between the lambda ($\Lambda$) hyperon and medium nucleons is a key element in solving the hyperon puzzle in neutron stars. We investigate the binding energies of $\Lambda$ hyperon in hypernuclei to verify the…
When moving away from stability or in loosely-bound systems, few-body clusterized structures like two-neutron halo nuclei appear. These emerge from the interplay between the many- and few-body degrees of freedom, and/or strong coupling…
Background: The calculation of the hyperon binding energy in hypernuclei is crucial to understanding the interaction between hyperons and nucleons. Purpose: We assess the relative importance of two- and three-body hyperon-nucleon force by…
A renormalized three-body model with zero-range potential is used to estimate the mean-square radii of three-body halo nuclei and molecular systems. The halo nuclei ($^6$He, $^{11}$Li, $^{14}$Be and $^{20}$C) are described as point-like…
After a short introduction to the nonmesonic weak decay (NMWD) $\Lambda N\go nN$ of $\Lambda$-hypernuclei we discuss the long-standing puzzle on the ratio $\Gamma_n/\Gamma_p$, and some recent experimental evidences that signalized towards…
We calculate the $E1$ breakup of the $2n$ halo nucleus $^{11}$Li in Halo Effective Field Theory (Halo EFT) at leading order. In Halo EFT, $^{11}$Li is treated as a three-body system of a $^{9}$Li core and two neutrons. We present a detailed…
The cluster structure of the neutron-rich isotope $^{10}$Be has been probed via the $(p,p\alpha)$ reaction at 150 MeV/nucleon in inverse kinematics and in quasifree conditions. The populated states of $^{6}$He residues were investigated…
The beta-decay of the 6He halo nucleus and the M1-transition processes of the excited 6Li(0+) state into the alpha + d continuum are studied in a three-body model. The initial nuclear states are described as an alpha + 2N system in…
Calculations of inclusive ${\alpha}$ particle production are performed to interpret reaction experimental data induced by the two-neutron halo $^6$He and the isotopes $^{6,7}$Li on different target nuclei. We have implemented the zero-range…
We perform an analytical study of the bifurcation of the halo orbits around the collinear points $L_1$, $L_2$, $L_3$ for the circular, spatial, restricted three--body problem. Following a standard procedure, we reduce to the center manifold…

We present a detailed formalism of the microscopic particle-rotor model for hypernuclear low-lying states based on a covariant density functional theory. In this method, the hypernuclear states are constructed by coupling a hyperon to…
A novel comparison between the data and the theory is proposed for the nonmesonic (NM) weak decay of hypernuclei. Instead of confronting the primary decay rates, as is usually done, we focus attention on the effective decay rates that are…
Processes of direct cluster photodisintegration of 4He nucleus into p3H and n3He channels are considered on the base of two-cluster potential models. Intercluster interactions being in agreement with elastic scattering phase shifts and…
