In nuclei with an odd nucleon number the non-vanishing spin number density is the source of a pseudo-magnetic field, which favors the splitting of the nucleon Cooper pairs. Such an pseudo-magnetic field is generated always in the dynamics…

Neutron-rich nuclei around $Z\sim40$ exhibit multiple shape transitions. This region shows one of the sharpest transitions in the nuclear chart, from a spherical vibrator at $N=58$ to a strongly deformed prolate shape at $N=60$, with…

We show how to include in the existing calculations for nuclei other than $^{129}$Xe, $^{131}$Xe, the corrections to the isovector coupling arising in chiral effective field theory recently found in Ref. \cite{Menendez1}. The dominant,…
