Within the relativistic mean-field approach, we extend the Miyazaki model, where the NN$\sigma$ and NN$\omega$ interactions are modified to suppress the couplings between positive- and negative-energy states of a nucleon in matter. Assuming…

Drip-line nuclei have very different properties from those of the valley of stability, as they are weakly bound and resonant. Therefore, the models devised for stable nuclei can no longer be applied therein. Hence, a new theoretical tool,…
A method for calculation of Gamow-Teller transition rates is developed by using the concept of the Projected Shell Model (PSM). The shell model basis is constructed by superimposing angular-momentum-projected multi-quasiparticle…
Electron-capture and $\beta$-decay of nuclei in the core of massive stars play an important role in the stages leading to a type II supernova explosion. Nuclei in the f-p shell are particularly important for these reactions in the post…
In nuclear structure calculations, the choice of a limited model space, due to computational needs, leads to the necessity to renormalize the Hamiltonian as well as any transition operator. Here, we present a study of the renormalization…

Gamow-Teller(GT) transitions in the $\beta$ decays of $^9$Li and $^{11}$Li are investigated with theoretical calculations of antisymmetrized molecular dynamics. The calculated $B(GT)$ values are small for transitions to low-lying states in…
We propose a new method to calculate stellar weak-interaction rates. It is based on the Thermo-Field-Dynamics formalism and allows the calculation of the weak-interaction response of nuclei at finite temperatures. The thermal evolution of…
The long-standing puzzle of the quenched $g_A$ in nuclei -- and in dense matter -- is shown to have a simple resolution in a scale-symmetric HLS chiral Lagrangian at the Fermi-liquid fixed point. This resolution exposes scale-chiral…

Gamow-Teller (GT) strength in $^{40}$Ar is studied by shell-model calculations with monopole-based universal intearction, which has tensor components of $\pi$\rho$-meson exchanges. Calculated GT strength is found to be consistent with the…
In this paper, we consider a stationary model for a nucleon interacting with the $\omega$ and $\sigma$ mesons in the atomic nucleus. The model is relativistic, and we study it in a nuclear physics nonrelativistic limit. By a shooting…
