We present a fully relativistic investigation of the radiative recombination of a twisted electron with a bare heavy nucleus. The twisted electron is described by the wave function which accounts for the interaction with the nucleus in all…
Nuclei exhibit both single-particle and collective degrees of freedom, with the latter often subdivided into vibrational and rotational motions. Experimentally identifying the relative roles of these collective modes is extremely…
We analyse and determine the effects of modest progenitor rotation in the context of core-collapse supernovae by comparing two separate long-duration three-dimensional simulations of 9 M$_{\odot}$ progenitors, one rotating with an initial…
In the sequel of the present study, we have investigated the rotational motion of triaxially deformed nucleus by using the microscopic framework of angular-momentum projection. The Woods-Saxon potential and the schematic separable-type…
Rotation of such objects as an atomic nucleus or a chromodynamical string can result in specific effects in scattering processes and multiparticle production. Secondary fragments of the rotating nucleus or of the decaying string can move…
To solve the Cd puzzle (spherical nucleus puzzle), I have proposed a new spherical-like $\gamma$-soft nucleus. Since shape coexistence often occurs in such nuclei, explicit spherical-like $\gamma$-soft spectra are not easily identified. In…
Experimentally observed superdeformed (SD) rotational bands in $^{36}$Ar and $^{40}$Ar are studied by the cranked shell model (CSM) with the paring correlations treated by a particle-number-conserving (PNC) method. This is the first time…
Mounting evidence indicates that neutrinos likely undergo fast flavor conversion (FFC) in at least some core-collapse supernovae. Outcomes of FFC, however, remain highly uncertain. Here we study the cascade of flavor-field power from large…
The newly observed isomer and ground-state band in the odd-Z neutron-rich rare-earth nucleus $^{163}$Eu are investigated by using the cranked shell model (CSM) with pairing treated by the particle-number conserving (PNC) method. This is the…
The nuclear quadrupole collective states at low excitation energies are described in a novel, fully quantum mechanical and systematic manner as compared to traditional pictures initiated by Aage Bohr. The ellipsoidal shapes are shown to be…
Low-energy vibrational excitations associated with the fluctuation of quadrupole deformed shapes are discussed within the frame of state-of-the-art Configuration Interaction calculations, actually performed via the Quasi-particle Vacua…
Some atomic nuclei exhibit ``pear" shapes arising from octupole deformation ($\beta_3$), though direct experimental evidences for such exotic shapes remains scarce. Low-energy model studies suggest $^{238}$U may have a modest octupole…
We search for effects of tetrahedral deformation $\beta_{32}$ over a range of $\sim 3000$ heavy and superheavy nuclei, $82\leq Z \leq 126$, using a microscopic-macroscopic model based on the deformed Woods-Saxon potential, well tested in…
Exact symmetry and symmetry-breaking phenomena play a key role in gaining a better understanding of the physics of many-particle systems, from quarks and atomic nuclei, through molecules and galaxies. In nuclei, exact and dominant…
We use a set of hadronic equations of state derived from covariant density functional theory to study the impact of their high-density behavior on the properties of rapidly rotating $\Delta$-resonance-admixed hyperonic compact stars. In…
In the shell model of nuclei, protons and neutrons move in a phenomenological nuclear potential much in the same manner as electrons move in Coulomb based potential in the shell model of atoms. As in the atomic case, the protons and…
Oscillations of neutrino emerging from a supernova core are studied. In this extremely high density region neutrino self interactions induce collective flavor transitions. When collective transitions are decoupled from matter oscillations,…
The microscopic origin of the $\gamma$-softness (fluctuations in the triaxiality parameter $\gamma$ of the nuclear shape) observed in atomic nuclei is studied in the framework of the triaxial projected shell model approach, which is based…
Background: Neutron-rich nuclei around neutron number N = 60 show a dramatic shape transition from spherical ground states to prolate deformation in 98Sr and heavier nuclei. Purpose: The purpose of this study is to investigate the…
The yrast states of transitional nuclei are described as quadrupole waves running over the nuclear surface, which we call tidal waves. In contrast to a rotor, which generates angular momentum by increasing the angular velocity at…
