We propose a method to extract the properties of the isobaric mass parabola based on the total double $\beta$ decay energies of isobaric nuclei. Two important parameters of the mass parabola, the location of the most $\beta$-stable nuclei…

A typical form of mass formula is re-explained in terms of nuclear structure. For $ N \approx Z $ nuclei, we propose to start with the shell model picture and to consider the T=0 $2n-2p$ ($\alpha$-like) correlations as the fundamental…
The nuclear matter parameters define the nuclear equation of state (EoS), they appear as coefficients of expansion around the saturation density of symmetric and asymmetric nuclear matter. We review their correlations with several…
