The relation between high-harmonic spectra and the geometry of the molecular orbitals in position and momentum space is investigated. In particular we choose two isoelectronic pairs of homonuclear and heteronuclear molecules, such that the…
Neutrino-nucleus scattering $\nu A\to \nu A$, in which the nucleus conserves its integrity, is considered. We show that elastic interactions keeping the nucleus in the same quantum state lead to a quadratic enhancement of the corresponding…
(The systematics of photon absorption cross sections in nuclei and small metal particles are examined as a function of the number of constituent fermions $A$. It is pointed out that the shell-structure-linked oscillations in the full width…
We formulate criteria for identification of the nuclear tetrahedral and octahedral symmetries and illustrate for the first time their possible realization in a Rare Earth nucleus 152Sm. We use realistic nuclear mean-field theory…
The relation of the shell, collective and cluster models of the atomic nuclei is discussed from the viewpoint of symmetries. In the fifties the U(3) symmetry was found as their common part for a single shell problem. For multi major-shell…
In this work it is shown that there are symmetries beyond the Euclidean group $E\left(3\right)$ in 3-body problem, and by extension in many-body problem, with inverse squared distance inter particle force. The symmetries in 3-body problem…
Signature effects observed in rotational bands are a consequence of an inherent D2-symmetry. This symmetry is naturally broken by the mean field cranking approximation when a tilted (non-principal) axis orientation of the nuclear spin…
The low-lying spectra of atomic nuclei display diverse behaviors, for example rotational bands, which can be described phenomenologically by simple symmetry groups such as spatial SU(3). This leads to the idea of dynamical symmetry, where…
It is known that nuclear deformation plays an important role in inducing the halo structure in neutron-rich nuclei by mixing several angular momentum components. While previous theoretical studies on this problem in the literature assume…
This article reviews our view on how chiral symmetry, its pattern of breaking and restoration under extreme conditions manifest themselves in the nucleon, nuclei, nuclear matter and dense hadronic matter. Topics treated are nucleon…
The symmetry algebra of the N-dimensional anisotropic quantum harmonic oscillator with rational ratios of frequencies is constructed by a method of general applicability to quantum superintegrable systems. The special case of the 3-dim…
The generation of high harmonics in laser-irradiated light homonuclear diatomics (H2+, N2 and O2) compared to that in atomic counterparts (of nearly identical binding energy) is studied within the velocity gauge version of conventional…
The role of discrete (or point-group) symmetries in alpha-cluster nuclei is discussed in the framework of the algebraic cluster model which describes the relative motion of the alpha-particles. Particular attention is paid to the discrete…
The analytic properties of Nilsson's Modified Oscillator (MO), which was first introduced in nuclear structure, and of the recently introduced, based on quantum algebraic techniques, 3-dimensional q-deformed harmonic oscillator (3-dim q-HO)…
We show that distinct emergent symmetries, such as partial dynamical symmetry and quasi dynamical symmetry, can occur simultaneously in the same or different eigenstates of the Hamiltonian. Implications for nuclear spectroscopy in the…
Exact symmetry and symmetry-breaking phenomena play a key role in providing a better understanding of the physics of many-particle systems, from quarks and atomic nuclei, to molecules and galaxies. In atomic nuclei, exact and dominant…
Quantum algebras are a mathematical tool which provides us with a class of symmetries wider than that of Lie algebras, which are contained in the former as a special case. After a self-contained introduction to the necessary mathematical…
We investigate the orientation dependence of high-order harmonic generation (HHG) from H$_2^+$ with different internuclear distances irradiated by intense laser fields both numerically and analytically. The calculated molecular HHG spectra…
A method is proposed and tested for the analysis of Delta I=2 staggering observed in nuclear rotational bands. We examine six super- and hyper-deformed bands, among which that of 149Gd and possibly of 147Gd seem to exhibit real staggering.…
The O(4) supersymmetry of the hydrogen atom is utilized to construct a complete basis using only the bound state wave functions. For a large class of perturbations, an expansion of the electron (exciton) wave function into such a complete…
