We have studied odd-even nuclear mass staggering with the Skyrme-Hartree-Fock-Bogoliubov theory by employing isoscalar and isovector contact pairing interactions. By reproducing the empirical odd-even mass differences of the Sn isotopic…

Odd-Even Staggering (OES) appears in many areas of nuclear physics, and is generally associated with the pairing term in the nuclear binding energy. To explore this effect, we use the Improved Statistical Multifragmentation Model to…

It is shown that the recently observed Delta J = 2 staggering effect (i.e. the relative displacement of the levels with angular momenta J, J+4, J+8, ..., relatively to the levels with angular momenta J+2, J+6, J+10, ...) seen in…
The enhancement of strange particle production observed in nucleus-nucleus collisions at CERN is explained by the combined effect of the increase in the relative number of strings containing strange constitutents at the ends, and the final…
Various properties of single-particle Hartree-Fock ground-state solutions in $N\sim Z$ nuclei are investigated. The emphasis is on a role of single-particle mean-field in odd-even mass staggering. It is shown that, unlike in traditional…
Clustering is one of the most complex phenomena known to the structure of atomic nuclei. A comprehensive description of this ubiquitous phenomenon goes beyond standard shell model and cluster model frameworks. We argue that clustering is a…
The properties of neutron matter are integral to the correct description of neutron stars as well as the description of neutron-rich nuclei. One key property of neutron matter is its superfluid behaviour in a range of densities relevant to…
Heavy even-even nuclei exhibit low-energy collective excitations that are separated in scale from the microscopic (fermion) degrees of freedom. This separation of scale allows us to approach nuclear vibrations within an effective field…

It was recently suggested that the odd-even staggering of reaction cross sections is an evidence of the pair- ing anti-halo effect on projectile radii. We define the dimensionless staggering parameters, {\Gamma}rds and {\Gamma}R, for…

The nuclear charge radius is a fundamental observable that encodes key aspects of nuclear structure, deformation, and pairing. Isotonic (constant neutron number) systematics in the deformed rare-earth region have long suggested that odd-$Z$…
Shell effects in atomic nuclei are a quantum mechanical manifestation of the single--particle motion of the nucleons. They are directly related to the structure and fluctuations of the single--particle spectrum. Our understanding of these…
