The method of effective interaction, traditionally used in the framework of an harmonic oscillator basis, is applied to the hyperspherical formalism of few-body nuclei (A=3-6). The separation of the hyperradial part leads to a state…

A new method unifying many and few-body aspects of nuclear structure has recently been introduced \cite{hov18}. This method combines the many-body description of a core and the few-body structure of this core surrounded by two valence…
Although neutron stars have been studied for decades, their internal structure remains enigmatic, mainly due to large uncertainties in the equation of state. In neutron stars, the nucleons are strongly interacting by exchanging mesons,…
