The nucleus is one of the most multi-faceted many-body systems in the universe. It exhibits a multitude of responses depending on the way one 'probes' it. With increasing technical advancements of beams at the various accelerators and of…

Neutrinoless double beta decay searches are currently among the major foci of experimental physics. The observation of such a decay will have important implications in our understanding of the intrinsic nature of neutrinos and shed light on…

We briefly review the study of the exotic atoms and exotic nuclei, and report recent research activities of eta-mesic nucleus and kaonic atoms in this article.

The current understanding of particle masses in terms of quarks and their binding energy is not satisfactory. Both in atoms and in nuclei the organizing principle of stability is the shell structure, while this does not seem to play any…

We study the electromagnetic form factors of a nucleon in next-to-leading order chiral perturbation theory (CPT) in the case where one of the nucleons is off its mass shell. We calculate the leading nonanalytic contributions to relevant…

The main purpose of the present manuscript is to review the structural evolution along the isotonic and isotopic chains around the "traditional" magic numbers 8; 20; 28; 50; 82 and 126. The exotic regions of the chart of nuclides have been…

Structures of light unstable nuclei, Li, Be, B, and C isotopes are systematically studied with a microscopic method of antisymmetrized molecular dynamics. The theoretical method is found to be very useful to study ground and excited states…

The thermodynamic properties of nuclei are studied in a mean field model using a Skryme interaction. Properties of two component systems are investigated over the complete range of proton fraction from a system of pure neutrons to a system…

To improve the constraints of symmetry energy at subsaturation density, measuring and accumulating more neutron skin data for neutron rich unstable nuclei is naturally required. Aiming to probe the neutron skin of unstable nuclei by using…

The nuclear shell model is a useful and widely used tool for nuclear structure, but it can be hampered by the exponential growth of the basis. Drawing inspiration from quantum information theory, one can show that the proton and neutron…

There is much speculation and a modest amount of evidence that certain mesons might form quasi-bound states with nuclei to produce really exotic states of matter. For this to be a practical possibility, the interaction between the meson and…

This article provides an insight into several open problems in the quest for novel modes of excitation in nuclei with isospin asymmetry, deformation and finite temperature characteristic in stellar environment. Major unsolved problems…

We study the electromagnetic vertex of a nucleon in next-to-leading order chiral perturbation theory (CPT). We consider the case where one of the nucleons at the $\gamma$NN vertex is off its mass shell. We define relevant measures for the…

We review the physics of coherent elastic neutrino-nucleus scattering and the results and perspectives for the measurements of the radius of the neutron distribution of the nucleus, of the weak mixing angle, and of new neutrino interactions…

Multi-messenger astronomical observations of neutron stars, together with more precise calculations and constraints coming from dense matter microphysics, are generating tension with regard to equations of state models used to describe…

A brief review of antiproton--nucleus physics is presented. Some topics are related to early LEAR experiments, and others to more recent measurements or proposals. These include: exotic molecules, elastic and inelastic scattering, deep…

For more than half a century, nucleons are considered to move continuously in the nuclei. Recent electron-scattering experiments indicate about 20$\sim$25\% nucleons in heavier nuclei are involved in the neutron-proton short-range…

Here I review some nuclear physics aspects of core-collapse supernovae concerning neutrinos. Studies of neutrino emission and interactions in supernovae are crucial to our understanding of the explosion mechanism, the heavy element…

A recent high-resolution $\alpha$, $X$-ray, and $\gamma$-ray coincidence-spectroscopy experiment offered first glimpse of excitation schemes of isotopes along $\alpha$-decay chains of $Z=115$. To understand these observations and to make…

External electromagnetic fields can provoke stress, and thus modifications of the internal structure of nucleons. Working with this hypothesis, one can derive a simple description of the charge dependence of the EMC effect. This first…
