The hadronic phase in ultrarelativistic nuclear collisions has a large influence on final state observables like multiplicity, flow and $p_t$ spectra, as studied in the UrQMD approach. In this model one assumes that a non-equilibrium…

We investigate the effect of hyperon matter including hyperon-hyperon interaction on bulk viscosity. Equations of state are constructed within the framework of a relativistic field theoretical model where baryon-baryon interaction is…
We investigate the equation of state (EOS) of hyperonic neutron star (NS) matter within a density-dependent relativistic mean-field (DDRMF) framework. The effects of scalar, vector, and mixed density dependencies in meson-baryon couplings…
The relativistic field theory model of the deuteron (RFMD) is reformulated from the first principles of QCD. The deuteron appears as a neutron-proton collective excitation, i.e. a Cooper np-pair, induced by a phenomenological local…
The formalism of the relativistic (or Dirac-) Brueckner approach in infinite nuclear matter is described. As nucleon-nucleon interaction the one-boson exchange potentials Bonn A,B,C and for comparison the Walecka model are used. The…
The problem of understanding the nuclear effects observed in lepton-nucleus deep-inelastic-scattering (the EMC effect) is still with us. Standard nuclear models (those using only hadronic degrees of freedom) are not able to account for the…
We report the first coupled-cluster study of Auger decay in heavy metals. The zinc atom is used as a case study due to its relevance to the Auger emission properties of the $^{67}$Ga radionuclide. Coupled-cluster theory combined with…
In the framework of relativistic-mean-field (RMF) models, we investigate the properties of light and heavy $\Lambda$ hyperclusters emersed in nuclear matter at various densities $n_{\mathrm{gas}}$ and proton fractions $Y_p$. In particular,…
We present a study of in-medium cross sections and (off-shell) transition rates for the most relevant binary reactions for strange pseudoscalar meson production close to threshold in heavy-ion collisions at FAIR energies. Our results rely…
We report the recent progress in relativistic mean-field (RMF) and beyond approaches for the low-energy structure of deformed hypernuclei. We show that the $\Lambda$ hyperon with orbital angular momentum $\ell=0$ (or $\ell>1$) generally…
We analyze low-energy hyperon-nucleon scattering using an effective field theory in next-to-leading order. By fitting experimental cross sections for laboratory hyperon momenta below 200 MeV/c and using information from the hypertriton we…
Within the Dirac-Brueckner-Hartree-Fock approach, using the Bonn potentials, we investigate the properties of dense, asymmetric nuclear matter and apply it to neutron stars. In the actual calculations of the nucleon self-energies and the…
Based on relativistic mean field (RMF) models, we study finite $\Lambda$-hypernuclei and massive neutron stars. The effective $N$-$N$ interactions PK1 and TM1 are adopted, while the $N$-$\Lambda$ interactions are constrained by reproducing…
The emission of an Auger electron is the predominant relaxation mechanism of core-vacant states in molecules composed of light nuclei. In this non-radiative decay process, one valence electron fills the core vacancy while a second valence…
The Pierre Auger (cosmic ray) Observatory provides a laboratory for studying fundamental physics at energies far beyond those available at colliders. The Observatory is sensitive not only to hadrons and photons, but can in principle detect…
