Covariant density functional theory with a few parameters has been widely used to describe
the ground-and excited-state properties for nuclei all over the nuclear chart. In order to …

In this review, we present a symmetry-guided strategy that utilizes exact as well as partial
symmetries for enabling a deeper understanding of and advancing ab initio studies for …

Experimental studies on nuclear sizes and related topics are reviewed. The recent
development of radioactive nuclear beams has enabled us to study the nuclear sizes of …

We have surveyed the neutron separation energies (S n) and the interaction cross sections
(σ I) for the neutron-rich p− sd and the sd shell region. Very recently, both measurements …

By exploiting Coulomb dissociation of high-energy radioactive beams of the neutron-rich
nuclei Sn 129-132 and Sb 133, 134, their dipole-strength distributions have been measured …

We measured the interaction cross sections (σ I) of 10, 11B, 12–20C, 14–23N, 16–24O and
18–26F on carbon targets at energies of around 950 A MeV. We then deduced the effective …

A deformed relativistic Hartree Bogoliubov (RHB) theory in continuum is developed aiming
at a proper description of exotic nuclei, particularly those with a large spatial extension. In …

Interaction cross sections (σI) for Ne isotopes from the stability line to the vicinity of the
neutron drip line have been measured at around 240 MeV/nucleon using BigRIPS at RIBF …

Nuclei with large neutron-to-proton ratios have neutron skins, which manifest themselves in
an excess of neutrons at distances greater than the radius of the proton distribution. In …

Since the mid-1980s increasing effort has been put into light exotic nuclei, that is light nuclei
of unusual composition. The research of the exotic nuclei began with the advent of …
