Shell effects in nuclei close to the neutron-drip lines have been investigated. It has been demonstrated in the relativistic mean-field theory that nuclei very far from stability manifest the shell effects strongly. This behaviour is in…
The binding energy of an isotope is a sensitive indicator of the underlying shell structure as it reflects the net energy content of a nucleus. Since magic nuclei are significantly lighter, or more bound, compared to their neighbors, the…

Using the quark-meson coupling (QMC) model, we study the longitudinal response function for quasielastic electron scattering from nuclear matter. In QMC the coupling constant between the scalar ($\sigma$) meson and the nucleon is expected…
