Weakly bound states often occur in nuclear physics. To precisely understand their properties, the coupling to the continuum should be worked out explicitely. In a first step, we use a simple nuclear model in the continuum and on a lattice…

The main features of nuclear reactions with participation of baryon resonances ($\Delta$(1232), S(1535) and $\Lambda$(1405)), which are interpreted as a manifestation of the bound states of nucleus and corresponding meson are discussed.
Low-lying electric-dipole ($E1$) strength of a neutron-rich nucleus contains information on neutron-skin thickness, deformation, and shell evolution. We discuss the possibility of making use of total reaction cross sections on $^{40}$Ca,…
The r-process involves neutron-rich nuclei far off stability for which no experimental cross sections are known. Therefore, one has to rely on theory which might be prone to considerable uncertainties far off stability. To investigate the…
