The nuclear deformation is driven by the quadrupole-quadrupole (QQ) component in the effective nucleon-nucleon (NN) interaction. Intuitively speaking, the actual nuclear shape is determined by the following mechanism,

In the case of quadrupole...

As first hinted at in the mid-seventies by pioneering on-line mass measurements of neutron-rich Na isotopes, the spherical shell, or sub-shell, gaps described within the shell model of the atomic nucleus are prone to rapid evolution with proton and neutron number. Far from being isolated, the region of shell erosion around N=20 is actually part of a larger “archipelago of islands of...

The Collinear Resonance Ionization Spectroscopy experiment (CRIS) at ISOLDE combines the high sensitivity of resonance ionization spectroscopy with the high resolution offered by collinear laser spectroscopy. The first experiments at CRIS demonstrated the ability to reach exotic isotopes, normally out of reach for collinear laser spectroscopy methods based on photon detection, with an...

In recent years, significant progress has been made in ab initio nuclear structure and reaction calculations based on input from QCD employing Hamiltonians constructed within chiral effective field theory. One of the newly developed approaches is the No-Core Shell Model with Continuum (NCSMC) [1,2], capable of describing both bound and scattering states in light nuclei starting from chiral...

Dripline nuclei exhibit different properties compared to those lying close to the valley of stability. The ground states of those systems can form halo structures or can even be unbound to particle emission. In fact, dripline nuclei are open quantum systems, for which the proximity of the continuum of unbound scattering states must be taken into account theoretically.
To this end, the Gamow...

Resonance is a general phenomenon happening in classic or quantum systems. It plays a special role in weakly-bound or unbound quantum systems. An unbound quantum system, such as atomic cluster or unbound nucleus, can emerge in the form of intrinsic resonance. Starting from realistic nuclear forces, we have developed a core Gamow shell model which can describe resonance and continuum properties...

Numerous applications of nuclear DFT have shown a tremendous success of the approach, which by using a dozen-odd coupling constants allows for correct description of a multitude of nuclear phenomena. However, recent analyses indicate that the currently used models have probably reached their limits of precision and extrapolability. The question of whether these can be systematically improved...

Fusion reactions are affected by nuclear structure and many dynamical processes.Some effects of internal nuclear structure on reactions such as heavy-ion fusion can be seen by studying features of experimental fusion barrier distributions.Until more recently, theoretical modelling of these reactions were largely of
phenomenological nature. Whilst this approach is useful to start with and...
