Recent experiments and many-body calculations indicate that approximately 20\% of the nucleons in medium and heavy nuclei ($A\geq12$) are part of short-range correlated (SRC) primarily neutron-proton ($np$) pairs. We find that using chiral…
Nucleons (protons and neutrons) are the building blocks of atomic nuclei, and are responsible for more than 99\% of the visible matter in the universe. Despite decades of efforts in studying its internal structure, there are still a number…
Mass number dependence of the nuclear radii is closely related to the nuclear matter properties. It is known that the most of nuclei exhibit some deformation. We discuss how the nuclear density profile is modified by the nuclear deformation…

The properties of nuclei with extreme neutron-to-proton ratios, far from those naturally occurring on Earth, are key to understand nuclear forces and how nucleons hold together to form nuclei. $^7$H, with six neutrons and a single proton,…
The neutron skin of atomic nuclei impacts the structure of neutron-rich nuclei, the equation of state of nucleonic matter, and the size of neutron stars. Here we predict the neutron skin of selected light- and medium-mass nuclei using…
This PhD thesis is devoted to the low-energy structure of the nucleon (proton and neutron) as seen through electromagnetic probes, e.g., electron and Compton scattering. The research presented here is based primarily on dispersion theory…

It has recently been suggested that differences in the charge radii of mirror nuclei ($\Delta R^{\rm mirr}_{\rm ch}$) are strongly correlated with the neutron-skin thickness ($R_{\rm skin}$) of neutron-rich nuclei and with the slope of the…
