The neon isotopic chain displays a rich phenomenology, ranging from clustering in the ground-state of the self-conjugate doubly open-shell stable $^{20}$Ne isotope to the physics of the island of inversion around the neutron-rich $^{30}$Ne…

We review our knowledge on the properties of the nuclear medium that have been studied, along many years, on the basis of many-body theory, laboratory experiments and astrophysical observations. First we consider the realm of…
Background: Nuclear reactions are complex, with a large number of possible channels. Understanding how different channels contribute to a given reaction is investigated by perturbing the continuous spectrum. Purpose: To develop tools to…
We discuss modeling of nuclear structure beyond the 2-body interaction paradigm. Our first example is related to the need of three nucleon contact interaction terms suggested by chiral perturbation theory. The relationship of the two…
Searches of neutrinoless double-beta decay require information on the value of the nuclear matrix elements that rule the process to plan and interpret experiments. At present, however, even the matrix elements obtained with the most…

An ab-initio description of atomic nuclei that solves the nuclear many-body problem for realistic nuclear forces is expected to possess a high degree of predictive power. In this contribution we treat the main obstacle, namely the…
A low momentum nucleon-nucleon (NN) potential $V_{low-k}$ is derived from meson exhange potentials by integrating out the model dependent high momentum modes of $V_{NN}$. The smooth and approximately unique $V_{low-k}$ is used as input for…
We describe the properties of complex nuclei, such as the Sn isotopes with mass numbers A = 100 - 132, in terms of the free nucleon--nucleon interaction as obtained from meson--exchange theory. This amounts to first calculating an effective…
The advent of nucleon-nucleon potentials derived from chiral perturbation theory, as well as the so-called V-low-k approach to the renormalization of the strong short-range repulsion contained in the potentials, have brought renewed…
We present a model for the description of nuclear matter and finite nuclei, and at the same time, for the study of medium modifications of nucleon properties. The nucleons are described as nontopological solitons which interact through the…
This work presents the first continuum shell-model study of weakly bound neutron-rich nuclei involving multiconfiguration mixing. For the single-particle basis, the complex-energy Berggren ensemble representing the bound single-particle…
A nuclear model is proposed where the nucleons interact by emitting and absorbing mesons, and where the mesons are treated explicitly. A nucleus in this model finds itself in a quantum superposition of states with different number of…
We investigate the properties of 3He, 4He, 6He, 7Li and 16O nuclei in nuclear matter of finite temperature and density. A Dyson expansion of the many-body Green function leads to few-body equations that are solved using the…
