We generalize the Jacobi no-core shell model (J-NCSM) to study double-strangeness hypernuclei. All particle conversions in the strangeness $S=-1,-2$ sectors are explicitly taken into account. In two-body space, such transitions may lead to…
Bound, strange, neutral superheavy nuclei, stable against strong decay, may exist. A model effective field theory calculation of the surface energy and density of such systems is carried out assuming vector meson couplings to conserved…
Neutrinoless double beta decay ($0\nu\beta\beta$) is a crucial test for lepton number violation. Observation of this process would have fundamental implications for neutrino physics, theories beyond the Standard Model and cosmology.…

Weak interaction in nuclei represents a well-known venue for testing many of the fundamental symmetries of the Standard Model. In particular, neutrinoless double-beta decay offers the possibility to test Beyond Standard Model theories…
Physical reason behind the mass-shift of vector mesons ($\rho$, $\omega$, $\phi$) in nuclear matter is discussed in the Walecka model and in QCD sum rules. Using analytic formulas for the mass-shift valid at low densities, it is shown that…
We consider a scenario with only one sterile neutrino $ N $, negligible mixing with the active neutrinos $ \nu_{L} $, where its interactions with ordinary particles could be described in a model independent approach based on an effective…
We use the self-consistent mean-field theory to discuss the ground state and decay properties of $\Lambda$ hypernuclei. We first discuss the deformation of $\Lambda$ hypernuclei using the relativistic mean-field (RMF) approach. We show…

In relativistic ion collisions there are excellent opportunities to produce and investigate hyper-nuclei. We have systematically studied the formation of hypernuclear spectator residues in peripheral heavy-ion collisions with the transport…
All realistic potential models for the two-nucleon interaction are to some extent based on boson exchange. However, in order to achieve an essentially perfect fit to the scattering data, characterized by a chi2/Ndata ~ 1, previous…
