In the framework of mean-field based transport approaches, we discuss recent results concerning heavy ion reactions between charge asymmetric systems, from low up to intermediate energies. We focus on isospin sensitive observables, aiming…
The long standing problem of proton-neutron pairing and, in particular, the limitations imposed on the solutions by the available symmetries, is revisited. We look for solutions with non-vanishing expectation values of the proton, the…
Efficiency corrected single ratios of neutron and proton spectra in central $^{112}$Sn+$^{112}$Sn and $^{124}$Sn+$^{124}$Sn collisions at 120 MeV/u are combined with double ratios to provide constraints on the density and momentum…
The isoscalar-isovector ($\rho-\omega$) interferences in the exclusive reactions $\pi^- p \to n e^+ e^-$ and $\pi^+ n \to p e^+ e^-$ near the $\omega$ threshold leads to a distinct difference of the dielectron invariant mass distributions…
The correspondence between the isoscalar monopole (IS0) transition strengths and $\alpha$ inelastic cross sections, the $B({\rm IS0})$-$(\alpha,\alpha')$ correspondence, is investigated for $^{24}$Mg($\alpha,\alpha'$) at 130 and 386 MeV. We…
A recent calculation of the nuclear energy density functional from chiral two- and three-nucleon forces is extended to the isovector terms pertaining to different proton and neutron densities. An improved density-matrix expansion is adapted…
A model combining self-consistent mean-field and shell-model techniques is used to study the competition between particle like and proton-neutron pairing correlations in fp-shell even-even self-conjugate nuclei. Results obtained using…
The short-range nuclear attraction is stronger in the isoscalar channel than in the isovector channel, as evidenced by the existence of the deuteron and not the dineutron. Nevertheless, apart from light N=Z nuclei, pairing is only seen in…
The relativistic mean-field plus RPA calculations, based on effective Lagrangians with density-dependent meson-nucleon vertex functions, are employed in a microscopic analysis of the nuclear matter compressibility and symmetry energy. We…
Isoscalar Cooper pairing in isospin asymmetric nuclear matter occurs between states populating two distinct Fermi surfaces, each for neutrons and protons. The transition from a BCS-like to the normal (unpaired) state, as the isospin…
It has been argued by Buckley et. al.(Phys. Rev. Lett. 92, 151102, 2004) that nuclear matter is a type-I rather than a type-II superconductor. The suggested mechanism is a strong interaction between neutron and proton Cooper pairs, which…
The observed isospin-symmetry breaking in light nuclei are caused not only by the Coulomb interaction but by the isovector one and two body plus isotensor two body nuclear interactions as well. Spectral distribution theory which treats…
The interrelation between the octupole phonon and the low-lying proton-neutron mixed-symmetry quadrupole phonon in near-spherical nuclei is investigated. The one-phonon states decay by collective E3 and E2 transitions to the ground state…
Within two different frameworks of isospin-dependent transport model, effect of nuclear symmetry energy at supradensities on the isospin-fractionation (IsoF) was investigated. With positive/negative symmetry potential at supradensities…
The isoscalar proton-neutron pairing and isovector pairing, including both isovector proton-neutron pairing and like-particle pairing, are treated in a formalism which conserves exactly the particle number and the isospin. The formalism is…
Proton-neutron (p-n) interactions and its various aspects in $N\approx Z$ nuclei of $g_{9/2}$- and $f_{7/2}$ subshell are studied using a schematic model interaction with four force parameters proposed recently. It is shown that the model…

We show that isospin non-diagonal terms should appear in the mean field Hamiltonian when neutron-proton symmetry is broken. They give rise to charge mixing in the single-particle wave-functions. We study the Time Dependent Hartree-Fock…
The reactions of nucleon and polarized deuteron scattered off a heavy target at large impact parameter with intermediate energies have been investigated by using the improved quantum molecular dynamics model. It is found that, due to the…
