The recent developments of radioactive nuclear beams has opened up the possibility of exploring a wide variety of nuclei far from the valley of beta-stability. Of late several theoretical studies have come up in the past for describing…
The recent availability of radioactive beams has opened up a new era in nuclear physics. The interactions and structure of exotic nuclei close to the drip lines have been studied extensively world wide, and it has been revealed that…
The ground states of some nuclei are described by densities and mean fields that are spherical, while others are deformed. The existence of non-spherical shape in nuclei represents a spontaneous symmetry breaking.
A halo is an intrinsically quantum object defined as a bound state of a spatial size which extends deeply into the classically forbidden region. Previously, halos have been observed in bound states of two and less frequently of three atoms.…
We investigate the deformation properties of atomic nuclei in a hadronic chiral SU_f(3) model approach. The parameters are fitted to hadron mass properties and adjustments for spherical finite nuclei have been performed. Using these…
Beta decay is a well-established and efficient probe of nuclear structure and provides important information also for halo nuclei. Detailed decay studies of near-dripline nuclei are challenging, but are now feasible due to the technical…
Theoretical investigation of two-proton halo-nucleus 17Ne has revealed that the valence protons are more likely to be positioned in the d-state than the s-state. In this study, this finding is clarified by calculation of the binding energy,…
This work establishes a deep connection between two seemingly distant branches of nuclear physics: nuclear structure and relativistic heavy-ion collisions. At the heart of this connection is the recent discovery made at particle colliders…

The origin of octupole deformation for even-even nuclei near the doubly-closed shell configurations are investigated by means of the semiclassical periodic orbit theory. In order to focus on the change of shell structure due to deformation,…

A nonrelativistic quantum theory of dark matter particles in a spherical halo is developed by using a new asymmetric equation, which is complementary to the Schr\"odinger equation. The theory predicts that each dark matter halo has its core…
A reflection-asymmetric deformed oscillator potential is analysed from the classical and quantum mechanical point of view. The connection between occurrence of shell structures and classical periodic orbits is studied using the ''removal of…
Halo is one of the most interesting phenomena in exotic nuclei especially for $^{31}$Ne, which is deemed to be a halo nucleus formed by a $p-$wave resonance. However, the theoretical calculations don't suggest a $p-$wave resonance using the…
Atomic nuclei can be spontaneously deformed into non-spherical shapes as many-nucleon systems. We discuss to what extent a similar deformation takes place in many-electron systems. To this end, we employ several many-body methods, such as…
We have identified over 2000 well resolved cluster halos, and also their associated bound subhalos, from the output of a 1024^3 particle cosmological N-body simulation (of box size 320 h^-1 Mpc and softening length 3.2 h^-1 kpc). This has…
We construct an effective field theory of a two-neutron halo nucleus in the limit where the two-neutron separation energy $B$ and the neutron-neutron two-body virtual energy $\epsilon_n$ are smaller than any other energy scale in the…
