We compute primordial light-element abundances for cases with fine structure constant alpha different from the present value, including many sources of alpha dependence neglected in previous calculations. Specifically, we consider…
Extreme nuclear deformations provide great insight into the geometric formation of quantum many-body systems. In this work, the $4\alpha+2n$ linear chain is assessed in $^{18}$O. We predict excitation energies, moment-of-inertia, $\alpha$-,…

Structures of excited states in $^{11}$B are investigated with a method of $\beta$-$\gamma$ constraint antisymmetrized molecular dynamics in combination with the generator coordinate method. Various excited states with developed cluster…

We present a many-channel microscopic model that extends the three-cluster model previously formulated in \cite{2009NPA...V37}. This extended model incorporates multiple three-cluster configurations, which are subsequently reduced to a…
The structure of the T=1 iso-triplet hypernuclei, $^7_{\Lambda}$He, $^7_{\Lambda}$Li and $^7_{\Lambda}$Be within the framework of an $\alpha +\Lambda +N+N$ four-body cluster model is studied. Interactions between the constituent subunits…
Our understanding of the low-lying resonance structure in $^{12}$C remains incomplete. We have used the $^{11}\text{B}(p,3\alpha)\gamma$ reaction at proton energies of $E_p=0.5-2.7$ MeV as a selective probe of the excitation region above…
The observed cross sections of quasi-elastic scattering of 6He, 7Be, and 8B nuclei by 12C nuclei are described within the framework of the diffraction nuclear model and the model of nucleus-nucleus scattering in the high-energy…
Nuclear Lattice Effective Field Theory is a new many-body approach that is firmly rooted in the symmetries of QCD. In particular, it allows for truly ab initio calculations of nuclear structure and reactions. In this talk, I focus on the…
The low-lying level structure of the unbound neutron-rich nucleus $^{13}$Be has been investigated via breakup on a carbon target of secondary beams of $^{14,15}$B at 35 MeV/nucleon. The coincident detection of the beam velocity $^{12}$Be…
We suggest that the emergence of a large deformation in the magnesium, Mg, nuclides, especially at the Z = 12, N = 12, should be associated with an octahedral deformed shape. Within the framework of molecular geometrical symmetry, we find a…
The radio galaxy 3C84 is a representative of gamma-ray-bright misaligned active galactic nuclei (AGN) and one of the best laboratories to study the radio properties of subparsec scale jets. We discuss here the past and present activity of…
Charge symmetry breaking (CSB) is particularly strong in the A=4 mirror hypernuclei $_{\Lambda}^4$H--$_{\Lambda}^4$He. Recent four-body no-core shell model calculations that confront this CSB by introducing $\Lambda$-$\Sigma^0$ mixing to…
We investigate properties of bound and resonance states in the $_{\Lambda}^{9}$Be nucleus. To reveal the nature of these states, we use a three-cluster $2\alpha+\Lambda$ microscopic model. The model incorporates Gaussian and oscillator…
The relation of quarteting and clustering in atomic nuclei is discussed based on symmetry-considerations. This connection enables us to predict a complete high-energy cluster spectrum from the description of the low-energy quartet part. As…

We numerically explore the pasta structures and properties of low-density nuclear matter without any assumption on the geometry. We observe conventional pasta structures, while a mixture of the pasta structures appears as a metastable state…
