The low-lying states of the $^{9}$Li nucleus are investigated with a unified framework of microscopic structure and reaction models. In the structure model, the wave function is fully antisymmetrized and the $^{9}$Li nucleus is described as…
Motivated by the recently obtained HAL QCD potentials for the $N$-$\phi$, $N$-$J/\psi$, and $N$-$\eta_c$ interactions, we investigate the structure of the exotic nuclei $^{8}_{\phi}{\text{Be}}$, $^{8}_{J/\psi}{\text{Be}}$, and…
Two-neutron halo nuclei offer a fascinating probe into the behaviour of quantum few-body systems at the limits of binding. Although few nuclei have already been clearly identified, many of their properties remain poorly constrained.…
The fundamental question is how the hyperon plays a role in the nuclear structure. It is of particular importance, especially in the light mass region, to verify the structure change when $\Lambda$ particle(s) is added to normal nuclei. The…
The four nucleons in $^8$Li outside the $\alpha$-particle ($\alpha=^4$He) can be divided into pairs of one neutron ($n$) and 3 nucleons in the triton ($t=^3$H), or 2 in the deuteron ($d=^2$H) and two neutrons in a dineutron ($^2n$). The…
We explore the structure of the ground state of $^{20}$Ne by investigating various density profiles. Four candidates for the ground state configurations, (a) $j$-$j$ coupling and (b) SU(3) shell model and (c) $5\alpha$ and (d) $^{16}{\rm…
The Quark-Meson-Coupling (QMC) model has been applied to the study of the properties of even-even super-heavy nuclei with 96 < Z < 110, over a wide range of neutron numbers. The aim is to identify the deformed shell gaps at N = 152 and N =…
If neutrons are progressively added to a normal nucleus, the Pauli principle forces them into states of higher momentum. When the core becomes neutron-saturated, the nucleus expels most of the wavefunction of the last neutrons outside to…
Background: Whether or not the $\alpha$ ($^4$He nucleus) clustering exists in the medium-mass region of nuclear systems is a fundamental and intriguing question. However, the recent analysis of the $\alpha$ knockout reaction on $^{48}$Ti…
We apply a particle-particle RPA model to study the properties of the two-neutron valence wave function in nuclei 14-C, 12-Be, 11-Li and 14-Be. The RPA model takes account of two body correlations in the core so that it gives a better…

The universal properties and structure of halo nuclei composed of two neutrons (2n) and a core are investigated within an effective quantum mechanics framework. We construct an effective interaction potential that exploits the separation of…

Properties of the neutron rich $^{11}$Li nucleus are calculated in the framework of the cluster model $^{9}$Li $+n+n$. The formalism of the harmonic oscillator representation of the scattering theory is used for the description of bound and…
Alpha clustering in nuclei is considered with the quartet model (QM) where four valence nucleons (the quartet) move on the top of the core (daughter) nucleus. In the QM approach, it is assumed that the intrinsic wave function of the quartet…
We study the correlations between two neutrons in borromian nuclei $^{11}$Li and $^6$He by using a three-body model with a density-dependent contact two-body interaction. It is shown that the two neutrons show a compact bound feature at the…
We investigate the consistency of the measured charge radius and dipole response of $^{11}$Li within a three-body model. We show how these observables are related to the mean square distance between the $^9$Li core and the center of mass of…
For the first time, the shell structure of open-shell nuclei is described in a fully self-consistent extension of the covariant energy density functional theory. The approach implies quasiparticle-vibration coupling for superfluid systems.…
The electric dipole response of the halo nucleus $^{11}$Li is calculated in a hyperspherical three-body formulation, and is studied as a function of the interaction employed for $n-^9$Li to reflect the Pauli principle. Strength…
Consistent description of 12C and 16O has been a long standing problem of microscopic alpha cluster models, where the wave function is fully antisymmetrized and the effective interaction is applied not between alpha clusters but between…
