We present lattice calculations of the low-lying spectrum of $^{12}$C using a simple nucleon-nucleon interaction that is independent of spin and isospin and therefore invariant under Wigner's SU(4) symmetry. We find strong signals for all…
We show that nuclear interactions are SU(4) symmetric at leading order in chiral perturbation theory in the large-N limit of QCD. The nucleons and delta resonances form a 20-dimensional representation of SU(4) and we show how Wigner's…

Elastic-scattering phase shifts for four-nucleon systems are studied in an $ab$-$initio$ type cluster model in order to clarify the role of the tensor force and to investigate cluster distortions in low energy $d+d$ and $t+p$ scattering. In…

Effective interactions, when defined in a coarse grained sense, such as Vlowk at the scale 450 MeV, display a remarkable symmetry pattern. Serber symmetry works with high accuracy for spin triplet states. Wigner SU(4) spin-isospin symmetry…
A flavour symmetry based on Z_4 is analysed in the context of SU(5) Grand Unification with the standard fermionic content plus three right-handed neutrinos. The role of Z_4 is to forbid some Yukawa couplings of up- and down-quarks to Higgs…

A microscopic description of nuclei is important to understand the nuclear shell-model from fundamental principles. This is difficult to achieve for more than the lightest nuclei without an effective approximation scheme. The purpose of…
We aim to describe the cluster states of nuclear systems starting with a realistic interaction, which is a challenge of modern nuclear theories. Here, the short-range correlation of realistic interaction is treated by employing the damping…
A new technique to search for new scalar and tensor interactions at the sub-micrometer scale is presented. The technique relies on small shifts of nuclear gamma lines produced by the coupling between matter and the nuclei in the source or…
Nonequilibrium dynamics of highly-controlled quantum systems is a challenging issue in statistical physics and quantum many-body physics, relevant to recent experimental developments of analog and digital quantum simulations. In this work,…
