In this document, experimental nuclear structure data are evaluated for 16Be. The details of each reaction populating 16Be levels are compiled and evaluated. The combined results provide a set of adopted values that include level energies,…
We report on the two-body invariant-mass spectroscopy of $^{9}$He, populated via the 1$p$1$n$ knockout reaction from the two-neutron halo nucleus $^{11}$Li at $\sim$250 MeV/nucleon. A broad $p$-wave resonant state of $^{9}$He was observed…
The structure of neutron-rich $\Lambda$ hypernucleus, $^7_{\Lambda}$He is studied within the framework of an $\alpha +\Lambda +n+n$ four-body cluster model. We predict second $3/2^+$ and $5/2^+$ states, corresponding to a $0s$ $\Lambda$…
The nuclei below lead but with more than 126 neutrons are crucial to an understanding of the astrophysical $r$-process in producing nuclei heavier than $A\sim190$. Despite their importance, the structure and properties of these nuclei…
The structure of the Borromean nucleus $^9$Be ($\alpha+\alpha+n$) is addressed within a three-body approach using the analytical transformed harmonic oscillator method. The three-body formalism provides an accurate description of the…
The $\alpha$ ($^4$He) - clustering structure is a common phenomenon in light nuclei due to the decreasing contribution of mean field in few-body system. In this work we presented calculations of giant dipole resonance (GDR) excitations for…
We introduce a new model applying to the core-nucleus and two-neutron system. The Faddeev equations of 6He-n-n and 8He-n-n systems for 8He and 10He are solved, respectively. The potential of the subsystem in the model has been determined to…
We compute the three-body structure of the lowest resonances of $^{12}$Be considered as two neutrons around an inert $^{10}$Be core. This is an extension of the bound state calculations of $^{12}$Be into the continuum spectrum. We…
When two heavy ions near the Fermi energy collide, a warm and low-density region can form in which fragments appear. This region is mainly dominated by proton (p) and alpha particles. In such an environment, the alphas interact with each…
We extend the ab initio no-core shell model/resonating-group method to include three-nucleon (3N) interactions for the description of nucleon-nucleus collisions. We outline the formalism, give algebraic expressions for the 3N-force…
Theoretical investigations of surface-state electron dynamics in noble metals are reported. The dynamically screened interaction is computed, within many-body theory, by going beyond a free-electron description of the metal surface.…
The structure of the ground state nucleon and its finite-volume excitations are examined from three different perspectives. Using new techniques to extract the relativistic components of the nucleon wave function, the node structure of both…
The excitation scheme of the $^{69}$Ga ($Z = 31, N = 38$) nucleus has been studied following its population in $^{59}$Co($^{13}$C,2pn) reaction at $E_{lab} = 45, 50$ MeV, and using an array of Compton suppressed HPGe clover detectors as the…

We have measured the beam-normal single-spin asymmetry $A_n$ in the elastic scattering of 1-3 GeV transversely polarized electrons from $^1$H and for the first time from $^4$He, $^{12}$C, and $^{208}$Pb. For $^1$H, $^4$He and $^{12}$C, the…
The structure of the unbound proton-rich isotope 19Na was studied in resonance elastic scattering of a radioactive 18Ne beam on a proton target using the thick-target inverse-kinematics method. The experiment covered excitation energy range…
We investigate the elastic scattering of $^9$Be on $^{208}$Pb at beam energies above (50 MeV) and below (40 MeV) the Coulomb barrier. The reaction is described within a four-body framework using the Continuum-Discretized Coupled-Channels…
This presentation opens with a brief review of lattice QCD calculations showing the $2s$ radial excitation of the nucleon sits at approximately 2 GeV, well above the Roper resonance position. We then proceed to reconcile this observation…
The breaking of the N=8 shell-model magic number in the 12Be ground state has been determined to include significant occupancy of the intruder d-wave orbital. This is in marked contrast with all other N=8 isotones, both more and less exotic…
The spectrum of 12Be exhibits exotic features, e.g., an intruder ground state and shape coexistence, normally associated with the breakdown of a shell closure. While previous phenomenological treatments indicated the ground state has…
