Neutron stars with the isovector scalar $\delta$-field are studied in the framework of the relativistic mean field ($RMF$) approach in a pure nucleon plus lepton scheme. The $\delta$-field leads to a larger repulsion in dense neutron-rich…

Reaction-rate calculations relevant to r-process nucleosynthesis depend sensitively on the nuclear $\gamma$-strength function ($\gamma$SF). Here we investigate the impact of low-lying pygmy dipole strength (PDS) in $(n,\gamma)$ and…
A low-energy enhancement (LEE) has been observed in the deexcitation $\gamma$-ray strength function ($\gamma$SF) of compound nuclei. The LEE has been a subject of intense experimental and theoretical interest since its discovery, and, if…
While the equation of state (EOS) of symmetric nuclear matter (SNM) at suprasaturation densities has been relatively well constrained from heavy-ion collisions, the EOS of high-density neutron-rich matter is still largely uncertain due to…

Analytical expression for the E1 photon strength functions (PSF) is modified to account for the low-energy enhancement due to nuclear structure effects (presence of low-energy state (LES)). A closed-form expression of the E1 PSF function…
The level density is among the most important statistical nuclear properties. It appears in Fermi's golden rule for transition rates and is an important input to the Hauser-Feshbach theory of compound nucleus reactions. We discuss empirical…
