We study the mirror symmetry breaking of $^6$He-$^6$Be and $^8$He-$^8$C using the $^4$He + $X$N ($X$=2, 4) cluster model. The many-body resonances are treated for the correct boundary condition using the complex scaling method. We find that…

We try to single out some qualitative new effects of the coupling to the $\delta$-isovector-scalar meson introduced in a minimal way in a phenomenological hadronic field theory. Results for the equation of state ($EOS$) and the phase…
Nuclear clustering describes the appearance of structures resembling smaller nuclei such as alpha particles (4He nuclei) within the interior of a larger nucleus. While clustering is important for several well-known examples, much remains to…

Background: The preference for light nuclear systems to coagulate into $\alpha$-particle clusters has been well-studied. The possibility of a linear chain configuration of $\alpha$-particles would allow for a new way to study this…
A survey of known threshold excitations of mirror systems suggests a means to estimate masses of nuclear systems that are uncertain or not known, as does a trend in the relative energies of isobaric ground states. Using both studies and…
